Effect of Churches Proliferation on Residential Rental Values in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria | Chapter 6 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 2

In developed countries, effective urban planning and zoning regulations have ensured compatibility between residential land uses and churches. Such regulations help balance the needs of religious institutions with those of residential communities, reducing potential conflicts. Unfortunately, in developing countries, planning regulations are less stringent, and there are a lot of conflicts between residential areas and churches proliferation. This study investigated the effect of churches proliferation in residential neighborhoods on residential property values in Uyo.  A survey research design in which data were collected from 600 residential properties located around 30 churches in Uyo was adopted. Data were collected on the distance between churches and residential properties, and the noise level from the activities of the churches. Data on other extrinsic and intrinsic factors affecting property values were also collected. The data collected were analyzed using the multiple regression analysis technique with the help of SPSS. The result of the analysis revealed that noise pollution from churches reduced property values by N771.49 per decibel, while proximity of the churches to residential properties reduced the property values by N316.94 per meter. The study concluded that churches proliferation in residential neighborhoods negatively affects residential property values. The implication of this is that if the rate of proliferation of churches in residential neighborhoods is not controlled, real estate investors may be discouraged as their property values continue to decline. Further, the study recommends that urban planners should apply stringent measures to control the proliferation of churches, and regulations are needed to control noise pollution, especially from churches.

Road Safety Reimagined: Exploring Causes, Effects, and Innovative Educational Interventions for Accident Prevention | Chapter 1 | An Overview of Literature, Language and Education Research Vol. 7

This chapter is focused on road traffic accidents, exploring the causes and effects of road traffic accidents as well as the safety education intervention that could be employed to enhance the knowledge and awareness of motorists so as to prevent road traffic accidents. In the course of the study regional disparities in road safety were explored. Based on the content explored in this chapter, revealed that road accidents are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in low and middle-income countries due to poor road infrastructures and poor knowledge and attitude towards driving. It was also noted that road accidents are caused by a number of factors which include environmental factors, vehicle factors (road pavement condition factors, and vehicle operator or driver factors). It was also finally stated that Safety Education Intervention which comprises safety training intervention, supportive supervision and capacity building are key intervention programs that can be adopted to enhance the knowledge and awareness of road users in order to reduce the prevalence of road accidents.

The Effect of Extension Services on the Growth of Aquaculture in Kasempa District of North-Western Province, Zambia | Chapter 5 | Advances and Challenges in Science and Technology Vol. 4

 A research study was attended in the Kasempa district of the North-Western Province of Zambia to judge the effectiveness of aquaculture continuation services and the point to which policies and plans were being achieved regarding the development of aquaculture. A sample of 55 aquaculture growers was selected purpose using simple random examination in five areas inside the district to measure the impact of extension aids on rural tenants' incomes and living standards. The study revealed that a lack of correct information for peasants could have a negative impact on the progress of the aquaculture subdivision. Inadequate advisory services keep also bring about lower quality and quantity of growing plants in liquid products. Aquaculture was being advanced in Zambia to provide high-income convenience for poor country residents and reduce the pressure on capture fisheries. Through continuation services, 90% of the accused had acquired technical abilities such as net farming methods, pool construction, bob health and nutrition, augmenting and marketing, and bookkeeping skills, that were used to ensure smooth operations and assisted the farmers overcome miscellaneous challenges they faced. Accordingly, 82% of the respondents designated that their fish yield raised due to the increase in the number of their ponds. The results also accompanied that 65% of respondents revised their social well-being and earned enough incomes from growing plants in liquid to meet various challenges, to a degree paying their children's school costs and buying cover materials for their homes. Moreover, the enlargement service instrumentalities’ performance in implementing tactics and plans was rated as good. However, plurality of the respondents experienced any of challenges that hindered further growing plants in liquid growth, such as lack of foundation capital, clogged waterways, shrimp fish growth, lack of angling gear, attacks by piscivorous animals, etc. Overall, the study establish that 60% of respondents could not raise advertise-size cast (>250g) due to high feed costs, while 40% of accused were able to raise chum close to market magnitude because they had more information and were interested in that region.

Monitoring and Assessment of the Microbial Populations and Chemical Characteristics of Paraquat Treated Soil | Chapter 2 | Cutting-edge Research in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 6

The aim of this analysis was to look at the microbial community and chemical components of soils that had been treated with paraquat. The soil samples were handled with paraquat at three different concentrations: low (0.3 ml/L), prescribed (0.6 ml/L), and high (0.9 ml/L). Normal techniques were used to perform microbial and chemical experiments. Microbes like Staphylococcus sp., Micrococcus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Escherichia coli, Bacillus sp., Actinomycetes bovis, Actinomycetes israeli, Streptomycetes sp., Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Absidia  The microbes were affected by the paraquat application to the soils at different weeks after application (WAA), as most were found absent in some of the treated soil samples, as shown by the results of the control soil samples. The organic matter and carbon contents of the paraquat-treated soils were significantly higher (P=.05) at the 4th WAA, with 1.93 percent, 1.93 percent, and 1.84 percent and 1.34 percent, 1.12 percent, and 1.12 percent, respectively, while the pH of the soils was significantly higher (P=.05) at the 2nd WAA, compared to the other WAA and control soils. Similar doses of paraquat at different WAA have different effects on soil microbial communities and chemical components. As a result, the effects of paraquat on the microbial community and chemical components of soil varied depending on the quantities used and the time it was applied. Since the fungi, bacteria, and actinomycetes species included in this study were herbicide-sensitive, they could be used as a reliable indicator of soil biological importance. It also decides the form of microbes in the soil by killing those that are unable to tolerate its effects, leaving only the resistant ones.
