TL;DR: In this article, the Central Bank of Nigeria introduced cashless policy initiative to accomplish two main macro-socioeconomic policy objectives of increased convenience and greater financial inclusion in Nigeria, the results of the study show that the twin policy objectives investigated were partially achieved.
Abstract: The Central Bank of Nigeria introduced cashless policy initiative to accomplish two main macro-socio-economic policy objectives of increased convenience and greater financial inclusion in Nigeria. This study evaluates Nigeria cashless policy implementation using a four point Likert scale questionnaire administered to six hundred respondents. The results of the study show that the twin policy objectives investigated were partially achieved. Also the study reveals that social infrastructures in power and telecommunications need improvement and expansion and the need to create more awareness to encourage the unbanked to embrace banking culture. This study recommends vigorous investments on cyber security, strengthening of internet protocol and controls in the banks and enactment of relevant legislative laws to curb cybercrimes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that education is a conditio-sine-qua-non for the development of any country and that this can only be achieved with ethical values and professional best practices.
Abstract: Education plays a vital role in the development of every country. A country is a living organism with several parts that need to be developed. As a complex organism, the development of each of its diverse parts requires some level of specialized knowledge. It is this complexity and organic nature of our modern society that has given birth to the various areas of knowledge with diverse aspects of specialization. It is therefore the complexity of human nature with its multiplicity of needs that has created complexity of modern civil society. Civil society is dynamic and develops in tandem with the diversities of human needs. Nothing ever emerges in the society without the focus or aim to satisfy the need of an aspect of human nature. So, every society with all its complexity is a reflection of human nature, with its diverse needs. It follows then that human nature is the basic foundation of our modern world or civil society. This also reflects the foundation of human knowledge in all spheres. Every aspect of knowledge is intrinsically linked with man and is designed to cater for the various needs of his complex nature. Education is therefore founded on human nature. The development and reconstruction of any society or country is therefore anchored on the process of catering for the diverse needs of man’s complex nature. Society, education and morality have the same foundation, and that is human nature. Society cannot be separated from morality or education. Hence, in this paper, effort was made to establish the fact that ethics and professionalism in education are the basic tools that can bring about and inspire development and social reconstruction. The paper asserts that education is a conditio-sine-qua-non for the development of any country and that this can only be achieved with ethical values and professional best practices. The paper posits that development and social reconstruction can only take place in a society where every aspect of human knowledge has an inbuilt ethical mechanism and professional standard.

TL;DR: Application of nitrogen significantly increased the growth and yield of Cucumber and the successive increase in nitrogen rate increased in vegetative growth (vine length, leaves and number of braches per plant).
Abstract: The responses of Cucumber ( Cucumis sativa L ) to nitrogen was studied in two filed experiments conducted in the teaching and Research farm of the Department of Crop Science, Obubra Campus, Cross River State University of Technology during the 2003 and 2004 cropping seasons. The experiments were laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Treatments comprised eight levels of Nitrogen (Calcium Ammonium Nitrate 26% of Nitrogen) rates at: 0 kg/ha, 80 kg/ha, 100 kg/ha, 120 kg/ha, 140 kg/ha, 160 kg/ha, 180 kg/ha and 200 kg/ha. Application of nitrogen significantly increased the growth and yield of Cucumber. The successive increase in nitrogen rate increased in vegetative growth (vine length, leaves and number of braches per plant). Nitrogen rates of 180 and 200kg/ha produced significantly higher fruit yield than the lower rates. The use of 180kg/ha of nitrogen gave the highest marketable fruit yield in 2003 and 2004. Keywords : cucumber, nitrogen, growth and yield Global Journal of Agricultural Sciences Vol. 4(2) 2005: 165-167

TL;DR: The implications of zero day exploits are discussed and the dangers posed by this cankerworm for an unprepared nation are highlighted and the defence-in-depth strategy for national readiness and a foolproof system that enforces the security of critical national infrastructure at all levels is adopted.
Abstract: A zero day vulnerability is an unknown exploit that divulges security flaws in software before such a flaw is publicly reported or announced. But how should a nation react to a zero day? This question is a concern for most national governments, and one that requires a systematic approach for its resolution. The securities of critical infrastructure of nations and states have been severally violated by cybercriminals. Nation-state espionage and the possible disruption and circumvention of the security of critical networks has been on the increase. Most of these violations are possible through detectable operational bypasses, which are rather ignored by security administrators. One common instance of a detectable operational bypass is the non-application of periodic security updates and upgrades from software and hardware vendors. Every software is not necessarily in its final state, and the application of periodic updates allow for the patching of vulnerable systems, making them to be secure enough to withstand an exploit. To have control over the security of critical national assets, a nation must be “cyber-ready” through the proper management of vulnerabilities and the deployment of the rightful technology in the cyberspace for hunting, detecting and preventing cyber-attacks and espionage. To this effect, this paper discusses the implications of zero day exploits and highlights the dangers posed by this cankerworm for an unprepared nation. The paper also adopts the defence-in-depth strategy for national readiness and a foolproof system that enforces the security of critical national infrastructure at all levels. Keywords: exploits, zero day, vulnerability, cyberspace, cyber-warfare
