From Basic Literacy to Digital Literacy: Building Foundational Skills for the 21st Century in Africa
Jean Faustin Kaffo*, Landry Kengne
This study examines structural barriers hindering Africa’s effective adoption and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance human capital efficiency. Similar to past industrial revolutions, the fourth industrial revolution—driven by AI—acts as a technological engine of growth in the Solow framework. Using a descriptive and comparative approach based on quantitative data, the paper ide
FEM Analysis of the Effect of Geometrical Radius on the Force Capacity of Unreinforced Masonry walls under Out-Of-Plane Monotonic Loading
John Mary Joseph Yiga*, Moses Matovu, Allan Ray Okodi
The susceptibility of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls to out-of-plane (OOP) failure under lateral forces from earthquakes and high winds continues to be a critical concern in ensuring structural resilience and occupant safety. While curved wall construction has gained increasing global adoption for its architectural, functional, and spatial advantages, current design provisions are predominantly
Improving Students’ Performance in Carpentry and Joinery Through Artificial Intelligence Multimodal Learning Materials Utilization at Crafts Development Centres in South-South Nigeria.
Sunny Nwakanma
This study was necessitated due to poor performance of students in carpentry and joinery at crafts development centers in South-South Nigeria. The study was significant; owning to the fact that, in recent times, carpentry and joinery craft has become one of the lucrative careers. The study adopted Descriptive Survey and Quasi-Experimental designs. Six research questions and six null hypotheses gui
Cost-effective Resilient Rural Bridges –A Case Study of Masonry Stone Arch Bridges in Kasese District, Western Uganda
Richard Baluku*, Allan Ray Okodi, Apollo Buregyeya
Climate change poses an increasing threat to Uganda’s road infrastructure, with frequent flooding and bridge washouts making replacement and new constructions costly. This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness and climate resilience of stone arch bridges compared to reinforced concrete alternatives. Using a case study approach comprising site visits, stakeholder interviews, structural, constructi
