...Journal of Engineering, Computers & Applied Sciences (JEC&AS) ISSN No: 2319‐5606 Volume 2, No.6, June 2013 _________________________________________________________________________________ Automatic Biometric Student Attendance System: A Case Study Christian Service University College Dr Thomas Yeboah Dr Ing Edward Opoku-Mensah Mr Christopher Ayaaba Abilimi ABSTRACT In many tertiary institutions in Ghana such as Christian Service University the attendance of students is very important factor since it forms part of the students’ assessment and evaluation. It has therefore become imperative that proper measures should be put in place to ensure that no student signs for another. It has been observed that at Christian Service University College lecturers sometimes give the attendance book to students to sign without actually supervising them to see whether the right student is signing or making sure that no student signs for another. Moreover, if a lecturer wants to supervise the signing of the attendance book to make sure that the right student is signing and no student signs for a friend then the lecturer may end up by wasting a significant amount of the lecture period on the signing supervision. Furthermore, in the larger classes lecturers sometimes use their own ideology and principles to award the attendance...

...Mission The General Education curriculum helps build the foundation for understanding historical traditions, contemporary issues, the interdependence of local, urban, national and global communities and the importance of psychological, artistic, religious and scientific inquiry. This program is designed to give the student the opportunity to interact with the multifaceted forces that are continually transforming and reshaping our world. The broad based, interdisciplinary scope of the area requirements is designed to help students acquire the knowledge, perspective, skill and professional acumen that is necessary to become thoughtful and responsible citizens and leaders in an increasingly complex world. The General Education curriculum is focused on fostering urban leadership by developing the cross-curricular emphases of writing effectively, thinking critically, managing information successfully, valuing diversity, practicing social justice, presenting orally and visually and learning to learn. Curricular Emphases: To accomplish these goals the general education curriculum, through its cross-disciplinary approach, provides exposure to a wide variety of disciplines while focusing on developing the essential, broad based, intellectual abilities of problem solving, decision making and leadership with a commitment to lifelong learning. The general education program emphasizes the development of oral and written communication skills; knowledge of the arts...

...infectious and non-infectious. The infectious health care wastes are termed as ‘bio-medical wastes’ and are considered to be potentially hazardous in nature. The disposal of untreated bio-medical wastes mixed with non-infectious health care wastes or other general municipal wastes poses an environmental threat and public health risk.Indiscriminate disposal of untreated bio-medical waste is often the cause for the spread of several infectious diseases. It is also responsible for the nosocomial diseases i.e. the hospital acquired diseases to the health care personnel who handle these wastes at the point of generation. Moreover, this is equally harmful to persons involved in the bio-medical waste management i.e. segregation, storage, transport, treatment and disposal. Apart from the above, a good amount of bio-medical wastes such as disposable syringes, saline bottles, I.V. fluid bottles etc. are picked up by rag pickers and are recycled back into the market without any disinfection. It is imperative, therefore, to adopt an appropriate environmentally safe method for the disposal of the hospital wastes. Sources of generation of Bio-medical wastes: Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Veterinary Hospitals, Dental Clinics, Pathological & Diagnostic Laboratories, Blood Bank etc. Type of Health Care Waste: These are of two types (i) Infectious Wastes (ii) Non-infectious Wastes INFECTIOUS HEALTH CARE WASTES (Bio-medical Waste): · Human anatomical / surgical waste, · Animal waste · Pathological...

Presently, the genetically modified food, mostly, stems from plants, however, in the future development of GM animals have a likelihood of being introduced into the market (Skancke, J. 2009). A Large number of genetically modified crops have been introduced with an aim of improving yield. The genetic modification of crops has remained a controversial aspect since the first introduction of a GMF. These technologies proponents have claimed that bioengineering of these foods is safe. They state that the safety of these type of food is similar to that is happening through the traditional agriculture. It is notable that in the case of selective breeding once two parental plants are crossed with an aim of a desirable trait there is a likelihood of transferring unpleasant characteristics. Therefore, doing away with the traits that are undesirable it takes place in a slow procedure and requires trial and errors through numerous plants breeding generations (Thompson, 2015). The most notable thing about this kind of foods is that are various issues that are arising from them. This application seeks to identify a number of these aspects and focus on the future issues of GMF. Evaluate the current issues around genetically modified (GM) foods The current debate on biotechnology in agriculture has focused mainly on the potential...

...The Coase Theorem In “The Problem of Social Cost,” Ronald Coase introduced a different way of thinking about externalities, private property rights and government intervention. The student will briefly discuss how the Coase Theorem, as it would later become known, provides an alternative to government regulation and provision of services and the importance of private property in his theorem. In his book The Economics of Welfare, Arthur C. Pigou, a British economist, asserted that the existence of externalities, which are benefits conferred or costs imposed on others that are not taken into account by the person taking the action (innocent bystander?), is sufficient justification for government intervention. He advocated subsidies for activities that created positive externalities and, when negative externalities existed, he advocated a tax on such activities to discourage them. (The Concise, n.d.). He asserted that when negative externalities are present, which indicated a divergence between private cost and social cost, the government had a role to tax and/or regulate activities that caused the externality to align the private cost with the social cost (Djerdingen, 2003, p. 2). He advocated that government regulation can enhance efficiency because it can correct imperfections, called “market failures” (McTeer, n.d.). In contrast, Ronald Coase challenged the idea that the government had a role in taking action targeted at the person or persons who “caused”...

...Historical Perspectives of Abnormal Psychology Marisol Malagon PSY/410 October 10, 2011 Maria I. Neely Historical Perspectives of Abnormal Psychology In this paper I will examine the origin of abnormal psychology, include the challenges, which define, and classify normal, and abnormal behavior. I will provide an overview of how abnormal psychology has evolved into a scientific discipline, and analyze the psychosocial, biological, medical, and socio-cultural theoretical models related to the development of abnormal psychology. Scientific characterization regarding what is abnormal includes five criteria’s, they are: help seeking, irrationality or dangerousness, deviance, emotional distress, and significant impairment. Help seeking, irrational or dangerous, and deviance are indicators, which link abnormality under its circumstantial nature. Emotional distress and significant impairment are considered useful and functional scientifically, this makes the two preferred, in this day in age for psychopathology. The last two may happen externally of the realm of psychopathology, but this rarely happens without the two. The criteria acts together as an explanation, which is helpful for clinical standpoint but may not apply in all situations. Nevertheless, a complete comprehension regarding the history of abnormal psychology must be taken into account. The origin of abnormal psychology goes as far back before Biblical history (Damour & Hansell, 2008). The animal-spiritual...

...Case Study of Detroit, MI Michael Harker BIO 201-2 Public Health and the Environment Although the city of Detroit, Michigan has been hit by hard times over the last 50 years or so, people and businesses are coming together in order to change the city and its residents. “Detroit has a long and storied 300-year history, but the heart and soul of Detroit is its residents” (City of Detroit, 2013, para.1). In the early to mid-1900’s Detroit used to be known as the auto industry of the world however, because of cheaper labor overseas and in the southern part of the United States thousands of Detroit residents ended up losing their jobs. These auto industry workers were the main income earners for their families but due to the loss of thousands upon thousands of auto industry jobs, entire neighborhoods in Detroit now sit vacant and abandoned. According to Jackson and Sinclair the authors of Designing Healthy Communities, the city of Detroit once had a population of two million people but has been declining over the last 50 years. In 1950 Detroit was the fourth largest city in the United States, however by 1990 the population was down to 1 million people and by 2006 there were only 871,000 residents. (Jackson & Sinclair, 2012). This continued downward spiral of the city’s population has seen many younger and highly skilled people looking to leave Detroit, leaving behind an older generation of city residents who are left to fend for themselves and who require more city services...

It seemed to be a role that he just woke up one day and assumed he needed to fill. My mother was a single mother of six children so she worked long hours every day which left me, being the oldest, as the secondary mother. It seemed to become my role as caregiver and my little brother, who is almost 5 yrs. younger than me, the protector. As we all grew up and started branching off into our own little worlds my little brother became a more private person. It was a surprise in late 2005 when he brought home a girl and announced her as his girlfriend and that he loved her. She was a great girl we all took a shine to her and welcomed her into our family. After a few months this new girlfriend decided it was time for us all to have a family meeting, there was something that she felt she needed to share with us all before anything more happened with her and my brother. She sat us all down and started to explain her family to us ending with her...

...Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION The world population is living, working, vacationing, increasingly mixing along the coasts, and standing on the front row of the greatest, most extraordinary, plastic waste tide ever faced. Washed out on the coasts in obvious and clearly visible form, the plastic pollution display obviously seen on the beaches is only the preface of the greater story that unfolded further away in the world’s oceans, yet mostly originating from where people stand: the land. In 2008, our global plastic consumption worldwide has been estimated at 260 million tons, and, according to a 2012 report by Global Industry Analysts, plastic consumption is to reach 297.5 million tons by 2015. Plastic is versatile, lightweight, flexible, moisture resistant, strong, and relatively inexpensive. Those are the attractive qualities that lead us, around the world, to such a voracious appetite and over-consumption of plastic goods. However, durable and very slow to degrade, plastic materials that are used in the production of so many products all, ultimately, become waste with staying power. Our tremendous attraction to plastic, coupled with an undeniable behavioral propensity of increasingly over-consuming, discarding, littering and thus polluting, has become a combination of lethal nature. Plastic bags are in use by consumers worldwide since the 1960’s, (Mc Kinley, 2010). These bags are sometimes called single-use bags, referring to carrying items from a store to a home. Open bags with...
