The fate of close-in planets orbiting stars evolving off the main sequence is governed
by the rapid expansion of the stellar envelope and enhanced tidal dis-sipation. Kepler-56, a redgiant star hosting multiple planets on misaligned orbits, provides a rare opportunity to examine
this process in an observed sys-tem. In this work, we investigate the tidal evolution of the inner
planets in Kepler-56 and demonstrate that their present orbital configuration places them in a
regime of runaway orbital decay as the stellar radius increases along the red-giant branch. We
show that tidal torques acting within the deep convec-tive envelope lead inevitably to planetary
engulfment on astrophysically short timescales. The analysis further suggests that planetary
engulfment can con-tribute to the anomalously rapid rotation of the stellar envelope and may
play a role in the observed spin–orbit misalignment between the stellar core and envelope.
Kepler-56 thus serves as a benchmark system for studying plane-tary cannibalism during postmain-sequence stellar evolution and highlights the broader implications of tidal interactions for
the long-term survival of close- in exoplanets. The Kepler-56 system therefore provides a
valuable observational laboratory for studying the late-stage dynamical evolution and eventual
engulf-ment of planetary systems around evolved stars
‘Students’ Perception of Improvised Instructional Materials and Their...
The study examined the influence of students’ perception of improvised instructional
materials on learning outcomes in Accounting among SS1 students in Aba metropolis, Abia
State. The study was guided by the objectives of determining the extent to which students’
perception, level of involvement, classroom environment, and school support influence learning
outcomes when improvised instructional materials are used. The study adopted a descriptive
survey design, targeting a population of 2,450 SS1 Accounting students across public and private
secondary schools in Aba metropolis. A sample of 245 students was drawn using stratified
random sampling, ensuring representation based on school type and gender. Data were collected
through a structured questionnaire to measure students’ perception and involvement, and an
Accounting Achievement Test (AAT) to assess learning outcomes. The instruments were
validated by experts in Business Education and Educational Measurement and tested for
reliability using Cronbach Alpha and test-retest methods, yielding coefficients above 0.70. Data
analysis involved descriptive statistics (mean, frequency, and percentage) and inferential
statistics (Pearson Product Moment Correlation) at a 0.05 significance level. Findings revealed
that students generally perceive improvised instructional materials positively and are actively
involved in their use. There was a significant positive relationship between students’ perception,
level of involvement, and learning outcomes in Accounting. Additionally, classroom
environment and school support were identified as critical factors enhancing the effectiveness of
improvised materials. The study concluded that students’ perception and active engagement with
improvised instructional materials significantly improve learning outcomes. It recommended that
teachers integrate improvised resources into Accounting lessons, schools provide supportive
learning environments, and policymakers encourage teacher training on the effective use of
locally available instructional materials. The study contributes to knowledge by demonstrating
that contextual, hands-on instructional resources can enhance academic achievement,
particularly in resource-limited settings.

Capacity planning and production management are vital administrative functions
within manufacturing industries, especially in sectors responsible for producing essential
consumer goods such as bottled and sachet water. In developing nations like Nigeria, the
demand for packaged drinking water has risen considerably due to population increase,
accelerated urbanization, and the inadequacy of government-provided water supply systems.
This research examines the capacity and production planning practices of the Veritas Water
Company, a water production enterprise affiliated with Veritas University in Abuja. The study
specifically investigates the operational framework of the factory, workforce size, production
procedures, demand levels for water products, managerial perspectives on production activities,
and the major constraints affecting productivity. The study employed a qualitative case study
design. Information was gathered through observation of factory production activities and the
examination of secondary materials such as academic publications, institutional documents, and
literature on manufacturing and production management. Findings indicate that the Veritas
Water Factory operates as a university-based enterprise aimed at providing safe and reliable
drinking water to students, staff, and nearby communities in Abuja. The factory employs a
moderate workforce responsible for various operational roles including production, packaging,
quality assurance, distribution, and administrative coordination. Despite its operational structure,
the study identifies several challenges affecting the factory’s efficiency and capacity utilization.
These challenges include unstable electricity supply, rising costs of production inputs,
competition from other packaged water brands, distribution limitations, and equipment
maintenance issues. Nevertheless, the growing demand for packaged drinking water in Abuja
creates opportunities for business expansion. The study concludes that strengthening production
planning mechanisms, upgrading production equipment, improving staff capacity, and
expanding distribution networks are crucial for enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of the
Veritas Water Factory

This study investigated the effect of emotional intelligence on organizational
performance of telecommunication firms in Nigeria. It focused on ten (10) selected
telecommunications firms in Delta State. The objectives of the study were to determine the
effect of self-awareness, self-regulation on organizational performance of employees of
telecommunication firms. The study adopted descriptive survey research, and responses from the
respondents were generated with a five point Likert Scale questionnaire. A total of one hundred
and seventy-one (171) copies of the questionnaire were administered to employees of ten (10)
selected telecommunication firms in Delta State, Nigeria. From the one hundred and seventy-one
(171) copies of the questionnaires that were administered, one hundred and twenty-three (123)
were retrieved and properly filled. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive and inferential
statistical tools. The multiple regression result revealed that there is significant relationship
between self-awareness, (p-value = 0.004 < 0.005), self-regulation (p-value = 0.020 < 0.05) and
organizational performance. The study concludes that emotional intelligence has a positive
significant effect on organizational performance in the telecommunications firms. Based on the
finding, the study recommends that self-awareness skills of leaders should be encouraged to
improve subordinates’ work attitude. The study provides a model of motivation of workers that
shows how the various dimensions of motivation can improve organizational in the
telecommunication sector.
