Abstract: This study examines the integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and learning analytics (LA) in fostering personalized learning within Nigerian higher education institutions. Specifically, it explores how these emerging technologies influence student engagement, academic performance, and perceptions of academic integrity in digitally mediated learning environments. A mixed-method research design was adopted, involving 420 undergraduate students and 60 academic staff drawn from three Nigerian universities. Quantitative data were collected through structured questionnaires assessing GenAI usage patterns, learning analytics engagement, levels of digital literacy, and integrity perceptions, while qualitative insights were obtained from semi-structured interviews with academic staff and information and communication technology (ICT) administrators. The findings reveal that 64% of respondents actively use GenAI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini to support learning activities, while 58% regularly access learning analytics dashboards for performance monitoring and feedback. Regression analysis indicates that GenAI-assisted learning and engagement with learning analytics jointly predict improved academic performance (β = 0.36, p < 0.01) and higher levels of student engagement (β = 0.42, p < 0.001). However, the study also finds that unregulated use of GenAI tools is positively associated with increased concerns about plagiarism and academic misconduct (r = 0.31, p < 0.05). The study concludes that the pedagogically guided integration of GenAI and learning analytics can significantly enhance personalized learning experiences in Nigerian higher education. Nevertheless, this potential can only be realized through the development of robust governance frameworks that emphasize ethical use, digital literacy, academic integrity, and data privacy. The study therefore recommends targeted capacity-building for educators, the establishment of transparent institutional AI policies, and continuous evaluation of the pedagogical impact of GenAI technologies.

Abstract: The article analyzes main directions of development of soft magnetic powder materials. It includes research on certain materials developed using soft magnetic materials in production of electric motors. The elimination of known shortcomings in production of electric motors, acceleration of its assembly process is studied. The production of magnetic materials with low energy loss during magnetization reversal is one of the urgent problems of industry today. Despite the fact that research and development of such materials has been carried out since the beginning of the last century, studying the mechanism of magnetization reversal and improving the quality of these materials is still relevant today. This is due to the fact that soft magnetic materials are widely used in various technical devices (electric generators, electric motors, measuring instruments, inductors, etc.), the quality level of which is determined by the properties of modern varieties of such materials. The purpose of the study. Acceleration of electric motor development processes, increase in economic efficiency and study of the performance of electric motors. Results of the study. During the period of use of the materials, small dimensions of the product are obtained, in which, when the directional effect of the magnetic fluxes is changed, a reverse change in magnetization is achieved throughout the thickness of the part.

Abstract: Urban building recognition plays a central role in applications such as urban mapping, heritage documentation, autonomous navigation, and smart city monitoring. Although recent advances have been driven mainly by deep learning approaches, classical visual pipelines remain an attractive alternative in scenarios where datasets are limited, interpretability is required, and computational resources are constrained. In this study, a systematic evaluation of a Bag-of-Features (BoF) representation combined with a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is presented for urban building recognition using the Sheffield Building Image Dataset (SBID). The experimental protocol includes dataset balancing, a reproducible training–testing split, and an extensive investigation of visual vocabulary sizes ranging from 100 to 3000 visual words. The results indicate that increasing the vocabulary size generally improves recognition performance up to a saturation point, with the best trade-off achieved using 2000 visual words. Under this configuration, the proposed approach achieved an overall accuracy of 97.5% while maintaining an average inference time below 25 ms per image, demonstrating competitive performance with low computational cost. A detailed analysis based on confusion matrices and per-class metrics (accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score) shows that most building categories were recognized with high reliability, while misclassifications were mainly concentrated among visually similar façade types. These findings confirm that BoF representations, when properly tuned, remain highly effective for structured urban recognition tasks. Moreover, the obtained results are consistent with those commonly reported in the literature for the same dataset and problem domain, reinforcing the robustness of the proposed pipeline. Overall, the results highlight the continued relevance of classical computer vision methods in contexts where transparency, reproducibility, and efficiency are essential. Future work will investigate hybrid strategies that combine BoF representations with deep convolutional descriptors, as well as more robust evaluation protocols, aiming to improve generalization across different building datasets and urban environments.

Abstract: Marine jetties form an important link between land and sea areas for the transport of oil and gas products. Mooring forces are considered a key factor in marine jetties design, which can be calculated using static or dynamic mooring analysis. In general, the dynamic mooring analysis (DMA) is considered a more complex task compared to static mooring analysis (SMA), due to the dynamic behavior of mooring lines and body motion of moored vessels. So, DMA always provides the most accurate and reliable results. Although the DMA is the ideal choice for detailed engineering projects, in feasibility studies and the FEED phase it will be time-consuming and less added value. In this paper, a methodology for calculating mooring forces using a modified SMA was implemented through the so-called dynamic mooring analysis factor (FDMA), which will take into account the dynamic response of the wave forces. For this purpose, more than 190 sea state load combinations were carried out, including different return periods, water depths, and wide range of vessel sizes. To determine the mooring forces in vessels' mooring lines, SMA is performed using the OCIMF approach, while DMA is performed by the Finite Element Model (SESAM Marine Software). The nonlinear regression concept was used to correlate the results of the SMA and DMA in conjunction with the vessel’s dead weight tonnages (DWTs). Finally, the dynamic mooring results using the modified SMA were validated against the DMA results generated by SEASM Marine Software, which gave promising results. As a conclusion; using the modified SMA approach will be as an alternative solution to the DMA approach at earlier stages of any project. This will also facilitate selection of the appropriate mooring pattern on marine jetties and the determination of the size and material of the mooring lines, thus contributing effectively to the cost estimation phase.

Abstract: The worldwide use of oil from Ceiba pentandra (L.) Gaertn. was also experienced in the Far North region of Cameroon due to its wide spread and abundance in the area. This study aimed at presenting proximate characteristics of the oilseed and its oil that may serve as justification to its gross use especially as traditional medicine and food in the study area. Plant materials harvested from the study area were treated and oil extracted from the kernels. Proximate analyses were carried out as well as the antioxidant tests and fatty acid profiling. The results showed that seeds make up 45.13% of the fruits and had a total lipid content of 22.64%. This oil was rich in polyphenols and flavonoids thus the important IC50 values for antioxidant assays were ABTS 96.27; DPPH 121.12; β carotene 84.63; Metal chelating 81.49 that conferred to the oil the numerous uses observed. This work was innovative in that it presented a comprehensive antioxidant profiling of ceiba pentandra oil from the Far North region of Cameroon. Due to the high amount of unsaturated fatty acids present in the oil, and good antioxidant properties, Ceiba from Cameroon could be marked as rich and good for nutritive and therapeutic consumption.
