This study investigates the factors influencing women’s entrepreneurship and selfreliance as a panacea to combating unemployment in Nigeria, focusing on selected entrepreneurs in Ondo State. Through a qualitative research design, the study utilizes interviews and surveys to gather insights from a diverse range of women-led businesses, from small-scale enterprises to larger ventures. Findings reveal that women entrepreneurs encounter significant challenges, such as limited access to finance, inadequate training, and societal barriers. Despite these obstacles, their contributions to job creation and economic development are considerable, with many women entrepreneurs achieving self-reliance and creating employment opportunities within their communities. The study underscores the need for supportive government policies that improve access to funding, training, and resources tailored for women entrepreneurs. Recommendations include establishing microfinance institutions, implementing targeted training programs, and fostering networking opportunities to promote collaboration among women entrepreneurs. Ultimately, this research highlights that empowering woman through entrepreneurship addresses unemployment while promoting economic growth and social development in Nigeria. By presenting successful case studies, the study demonstrates the transformative potential of women’s entrepreneurship in combating unemployment in the region.

Africa’s monumental challenges in its quest to reform education systems capable of fostering good governance on the continent appear to be rooted in social dynamics, with an operational centre on economic, cultural and power dynamics. Though recent decades have seen improvements in enrolment rates, issues of quality, relevance and equity are still out there. Conceptually, social dynamics encompass multifaceted sociological elements shaping and directing human behaviour and societal operations. In Africa, economic, cultural and power dynamics interact in ways that minimise educational advancement. Economically, funding shortfalls stymie infrastructure and teacher development, while volatile landscapes constrain skills alignment. Disparities also abound, with poverty exacerbating inequities. Cultural dynamics manifest in diverse cultural values, resistance to Western models and gender disparities. Power dynamics manifest through patrimonial interference by political elites seeking personal agendas, relegating meritocracy. Within educational institutions, administrators and other officials engage in counterproductive power plays. Recommendations include unified educational policies, increased funding, culturally relevant curricula, prioritising girls' education, promoting indigenous languages, ensuring institutional autonomy and evidence-based policymaking.

This study introduces a novel approach to process monitoring by developing a Coefficient of Variation (CV) control chart based on the percentiles of the Size-Biased Lomax Distribution (SBLD). Traditional control charts, such as Shewhart charts, often assume normality, which may not be suitable for skewed or heavy-tailed data commonly found in realworld processes. The proposed CV control chart leverages the SBLD, a distribution well-suited for modeling skewed data, to provide more accurate and robust monitoring of process variability. The methodology involves deriving the mathematical properties of the SBLD, constructing control limits using percentiles, and validating the chart's performance through simulation studies and real-world applications. Results demonstrate that the SBLD-based CV control chart outperforms traditional methods in detecting process variations, particularly for skewed data. This research contributes to the field of statistical process control by offering a tailored solution for monitoring processes with non-normal data distributions, enhancing quality control practices across various industries.

Rice (Oryza sativa) is a vital staple food for over half of the global population, with Chhattisgarh, India, being a significant producer often referred to as the 'Rice Bowl' of the country. Despite its large-scale production, substantial quantities of rice become deteriorated and unfit for human consumption, resulting in considerable waste. This study investigates the conversion of deteriorated rice into bioethanol as a sustainable solution to address both environmental and economic challenges. The process involves starch liquefaction, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, and distillation. This manuscript focuses on optimizing the use of αamylase, a key enzyme for converting rice starch into fermentable sugars. Three varieties of deteriorated rice were evaluated, with DRS 2 showing the highest starch concentration of 73.61%. Optimal hydrolysis conditions were determined to be 8% α-amylase concentration, pH 6.5, and 90°C, which yielded 79.78% reducing sugars. Subsequent fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a two-stage distillation process produced an ethanol yield of 22.8 grams per 100 grams of deteriorated rice. This study demonstrates that utilizing deteriorated rice for bioethanol production is a viable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. It offers a means to reduce waste, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and potentially boost local economies by providing a renewable energy source.
