ABSTRACT Global concern over Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) emanates from its effects on health, general well-being and labour productivity because 60-90% of daytime is spent indoors. Evidence of Building Related Illnesses (BRI), Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) and absenteeism from work due to poor IEQ has made IEQ one of the indices of environmental sustainability. There is, however, paucity of research on IEQ and its relationship with workspace utilisation and maintenance practice in Niger...

ABSTRACT This research study aims at producing a proposed ZENT Employee Social Security System that delivers an automated employee access to social security credit. The development of this system was driven by the incompetence processing of the long serving social security access system. More so, the proposed ZENT social security system was developed using the modern technology adopted from the object oriented language classes. The benefits of developing such as a statement proved to outstand...
ABSTRACT Candida species are the most common cause of fungal infections in humans. Candida species produce infections that range from non life-threatening mucocutaneous illnesses to invasive processes that may involve virtually any organ and this broad range of infections. Candida albicans coexists with a highly diverse human bacterial microbiota. Candida tropicalis is a common pathogen in neutropenic hosts in whom it may spread through the bloodstream to peripheral organs. Candida tropicalis...

In addition, the application will permit the guests to browse and peruse each restaurant menus. This applicati...
ABSTRACT The need to develop the Zimbabwe National Water Authority Electronic Record Support System was necessitated by the lack of a fast and efficient way to search and record file entries in the records department. Various data gathering methodologies were exercised to render this research such a resounding success. These include interviews and observations to mention but a few. Various alternatives to produce the System Software were considered but fortunately at the end an in-house syste...
ABSTRACT Use of sewage sludge and effluent in cultivation of crops and vegetables is a common practice in Zimbabwe. However, high concentrations of heavy metals such as Cadmium (Cd) in sewage sludge and effluent does not only result in environmental contamination, but may lead to elevated heavy metal uptake by crops, which may affect food quality and safety. The current study aimed to investigate if high concentration of Cd in sludge and effluent from Gimboki Sewage Treatment Plant translates...

Abstract The study on the effect of particles size on biogas production has been conducted. Substrates consisted of pre-treated water hyacinth with drying and grounded to fine particles of (0.001and 0.05 mm) and chopped water hyacinth to small particles of (1.0 and 2.5 mm). The reactor digesters were operated at mesophilic temperature ranges of 25 °C to 32 °C with retention time of 23 days. Results showed that highest biogas production occurred with the most finely grounded substrate (0.00...
ABSTRACT There are two viruses found to be direct aetiological agents of leukaemia, namely Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Human T-cell leukaemia virus. Viral infections were estimated to cause 15 – 20 % of all human cancers, by its capability to release virus-encoded proteins into its host. These proteins reprogram host cell signalling pathways within deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which are responsible for differentiation and proliferation. Furthermore, 90% of the world’s population is infec...
