Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, , course: CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING, language: English, abstract: The primary aim of this research study is to investigate, asses, identify and analyses various risk categories that are inherent in building and construction projects in three selected Local Governments - Ese-Odo and IIaje (riversides) and Okitipupa Local Governments in Ondo State. A comprehensive review and assessment of previous studies was used to draft a questionnaire for risk data collection. Out of the 16 contractors presently executing building projects in the three Local Governments and some selected Local Government staffs who were contacted as participants, only 12 contractors and some selected Local Government staffs agreed to participate in the stdy while 4 contractors declined to participate. Indeed, Seventy-seven (77) risk variables were identified under ten (10) risk factors in each questionnaire. However, seventy-two (72) questionnaires were randomly distributed to seventy-two (72) participants who constituted final sample for the study as respondents for their responses. These participants were grouped into 27 management employees which include: Director of Works (3), Civil Engineers (6), Director of Finance and Supplies (3), Project Managers (6) and Directors of Legal and Environmental (9) and 45 non-management employees which include: Contractors (12), Design team (Architects/Civil Engineers) (6), Consultants (Architects) (3), Construction team (Foremen) (12) and Sub-contractors (Transport owners) (12). The procedure of filling the questionnaire involves the selection of a set of attitude statements, to which respondents are asked to indicate their agreement or disagreement to each statement along a five-point Likert scale ranging from: ¿not-important (1), important (2), average (3), very important (4) to highly important (5)¿. Respondents¿ scores were tabulated by assigning a numerical value to each of the answers ranging from ¿1¿ for the alternative at one end of scale to ¿5¿for the alternative at the other. Accordingly, responses were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and Descriptive Statistics involving: Mean, standard deviations, variance, range (maximum and minimum) and respondents to determine the influence of all the identified risk variables in building and construction projects in the three selected Local Governments.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Biology - Botany, grade: A, , course: Biology, language: English, abstract: This study reviews the utilization of alien plant invaders in Nigeria, with a view to recommending these plants to Nigerians considering their utilization potential. The overall aim of this research project is reflected in the following research questions: How does educational awareness have impact on the utilization of plant invaders? What was the utilization of alien plants invasions? How does climate change and variability aid the invasion of alien species? How do alien plant invaders affect the economic, recreational and environmental uses?Invasive alien species have been introduced to Nigeria from different parts of the world both intentionally and unintentionally and they are affecting indigenous plants and animal communities. The intentional spread has been a result of ongoing and increasing human redistribution of species to support agriculture, forestry, mariculture, horticulture and recreation. This supplies a continuous pool of species from which invasive aliens are recruited.The invasive alien species were also introduced as commercial plants or ornamental garden plants. Invasions also occurred countrywide as a result of seed introductions, of tree and shrub clearing for pasture and grazing infestations. The unintentional introductions of IAPs include disease organisms, agricultural weeds and insect pests. However, they were broughtwithout their natural enemies, which results in these plants reproducing copiously.
