Data quality assessment of nignet network

NIGNET is a network of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) stations established in 2009 by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Office of the Surveyor General of the Federation (OSGoF), which is the office charged with the Surveying and Mapping in Nigeria. Presently, the network consists of twelve(12) stations established with a good geographic distribution. The principal objective of this research project is to assess the data quality of NIGNET Network by processing the data and analysing the derived Time Series. This was done by evaluating the errors on the Time-Series and by computing the relative motions, using different plate tectonic models with respect to (w.r.t.) Nubia plate

PERCEIVED CORRELATION BETWEEN COMMUNICATION STYLES AND INTERPERSONAL CONFLICT RESOLUTION AMONG INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN MALAYSIA

Background and Purpose: A good and fulfilling relationship among individuals from distinct cultural backgrounds depends on effective communication. This research examined the perceived relationship between communication styles and interpersonal conflict resolution among international students in Malaysian universities.   Methodology: The study employed a cross-sectional survey in which self-developed structured questionnaires were used to gather data from a random sample of 324 international students in 15 higher institutions across Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis.   Findings: The findings of this study revealed a significant positive relationship between communication styles and interpersonal conflict resolution among international students. Specifically, passive, passive-aggressive, and assertive communication styles have a significant positive relationship with conflict resolution. However, the aggressive communication style exerts an insignificant effect on conflict resolution with a t-value of 0.734 and a P-value of 0.463. Thus, the students generally believe this style does not help to resolve interpersonal conflict. These outcomes suggest the students’ readiness for cultivating a peaceful learning environment.   Contributions: This study provides relevant information that can help educational decision-makers to strengthen cross-cultural collaboration among international students in the Malaysian context. This valuable information can also facilitate successful academic, professional, and social cooperation.   Keywords: Cross-cultural relationship, interpersonal conflict resolution, communication styles, international students, Malaysia.   Cite as: Mohammed, S., Nasidi, Q.

Financial Market Funds in Nigeria’s Economic Progress: Evidence and Insights From the Manufacturing Sector

Given the need for the financial markets to continuously provide both long and short-term funds required by the manufacturing sector in an economy, this study seeks to ascertain the extent to which Nigeria's manufacturing sector is influenced by the classified financial market funds over the period 1981 to 2015. Secondary data was sourced from the Statistical Bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria and processed through the employment of statistical techniques, which include Multiple Regression, Stationarity, Johansen Co-integration, Error Correction and Granger Causality. The results provide evidence of valuable short and long-run interrelationships between contributions of the manufacturing sector to Nigeria's gross domestic product and three out of the four components of capital and money market funds employed in the study. Further, the Granger Causality results indicate two (2 no) unidirectional causalities which flow from manufacturing sector's output to (i) bank credits to the private sector and (ii) government securities. The study concludes that (i) most of the financial market components largely operate independent of the Nigeria's manufacturing sector, and (ii) where there is any significant relationship at all, the financial market components largely tend to be dependent on the manufacturing sectors operations. On the whole, it is recommended that (i) deposit money banks should set aside a minimum of 20 percent of their loanable funds for on-lending to the manufacturing sector which scheme should be wholly guaranteed by the Central Bank of Nigeria in order to boost the operations of Nigeria’s manufacturing sector, (ii) the state should invest more in infrastructural facilities development in order to reduce cost of production in Nigeria’s manufacturing sector. These will hopefully enhance the contribution of the sector to Nigeria's GDP. Keywords: Financial Market Funds, Manufacturing Output, Gross Domestic Product

Model Diagnosis dan Rawatan Kemalangan Jalan Raya di Malaysia

Absence of an information analysis system and a proper accident investigation framework have been the stumbling blocks in the investigation, evaluation and monitoring of accident problems in Malaysia. This paper presents the information system developed and provides the accident treatment model for implementation throughout Malaysia. Two police districts, Seremban and Shah Alam were chosen as a test case in this National Safety Council Pilot Project. Accident data are based on a police form POL27 (Pind 1/91) designed to enable processing and analysis using a customised microcomputer accident analysis package (MAAP). The system enables a thorough analysis of certain cases particularly on black spots. A dangerous location identification system based on accident maps, link-node-cell system and coordinates was used in the urban areas, while a kilometer post system was used for the rural highways. In-depth analysis on black spots could be achieved by means of a stick and collision diagram. This would enable diagnosis of actual causes of accidents at a problem location to be done expeditiously, more easily and more accurately so tha

A GIS Support System for Road Safety Analysis and Management

In diagnosing the cause traffic accidents, traffic engineers, planners and decision makers often need as much information as possible before deciding the appropriate countermeasure. In road safety analysis apart from producing the most accurate prediction from statistical figures, the need to visualize information geographically i always essential. This paper describes the implementation of SMKJ2, the method used to provide multiple ways of visualising accident data based on certain set of criteria, and the plan to incorporate multiple experts and knowledge base in to the system. The project, presently confined to the area of Seremban City Council of Negeri Sembilan, has been carried out in collaboration with The Royal Malaysian Police and The Road Safety Council
