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

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.
