“…This may be due to the defatted content of the cocoyam flour. At 80 ̊ C, fat content ranged from 4.49 to 8.01 % which has a significant difference (p< 0.05) from each other for 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours as compared to sample blanched at 100 ̊ C, only sample soaked at 12 hours and 24 hours showed a decrease from 5.21 to 1.65 % which is as a result of the effect of hydrothermal treatment on the flour that exposes the shell for defatting [16].…”

The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of hydrothermal treatment on the physicochemical properties of cocoyam flour. Harvested cocoyam (Colocasia esculenta) was sorted, peeled, washed, sliced, washed, blanched at temperature 60 ̊ C, 80 ̊ C and 100 ̊ C and soaked at different time of 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after then oven dried. The dried samples were milled into flour labelled A, B, and C at three replicates (3×3×3=27) with unblanched and unsoaked sample D as control. The samples were packaged for analysis. Result showed that at temperature 60 ̊ C for soaking time 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours, the moisture content are 4.16 %, 3.62 % and 5.01 %, fat 5.22 %, 5.22 % and 4.72 %, crude fibre 0.98 %, 0.99 % and 0.53 %, protein 1.75 %, 1.47 % and 1.61 %. It is concluded that hydrothermal treatment of cocoyam (colocasia esculenta) can modify the physicochemical properties of flour produced. However, the minimum effect occurred at 60 ̊ C compared to 80 ̊ C and 100 ̊ C .thus, the quality of cocoyam flour can be improved using blanching temperature 60 ̊ C and 12 hours soaking time.

“…Cocoyams are root and tuber which are generally known to have low protein value which ranges from 1.12 % to 1.15% [16,17]. The protein content of cocoyam flour produced at blanching temperature of 60 ̊ C decreased from 1.75 % at soaking time of 12 hours to 1.47 % at 24 hours.…”

“…Research has been conducted to examine additional connections between ethnomathematics and alreadyestablished cultural (Pradhan, 2017; Pramudita & Rosnawati, 2019; Owusu-Darko, Sabtiwu, Doe, Owusu-Mintah, & Ofosu, 2023) [8,9,5] . The elderly man builds traditional Tharu's houses.…”

Tharu is one of the indigenous research communities having their distinctive culture and practices. They have their own mathematical ideas and practice concepts to perform everyday activities. The study of mathematical ideas and knowledge practice in a particular group of people which is generally ignored by the formal curriculum is known as ethnomathematics. This study is intended to uncover the mathematical concepts embedded in the construction of traditional Tharu houses at the Chakhoura Museum. For this purpose, this study has carried out the observation and documentation analysis method for data collection. The resketching of the image of the traditional houses obtained in the field is carried out to facilitate the art, structures, and designs of construction systems of the traditional house. Most of the local knowledge developed by Tharu communities regarding the architecture of traditional houses is usually based on intuition, estimation, observation, and practice handed down from generation to generation closely related to their local culture. Therefore, emic ethnomodeling is used to explore the mathematical ideas embedded in the architecture of traditional houses. The result showed that the architecture of Tharu's traditional houses demonstrates sophisticated geometrical objects, namely, angles, lines, parallel lines, triangles, rectangles, squares, pentagons, circles, cylinders, and so on. The result also showed that the geometrical ideas contained in the Tharu's traditional houses include a prism. Thus, the result of this study exhibits the diversity and sophistication of mathematical practice in traditional houses made by Tharu communities that have a strong foundation in popular scientific understanding, such as geometric shapes in arts, crafts, architecture, and design.

“…As natural, psychology is concern with laws of nature. As a social science, psychology involve the study of the laws of thought, feelings and behaviors of humans and other organisms (Owusu-Darko, Yaw, Hughes, & Florence, 2017). Over the years, educational psychology has made tremendous effect on education towards knowledge acquisition.…”

The study assessed item parameter drifts across school type in institution's examination body for educational psychology examination for 2022. Two research questions guided the study and two hypotheses were tested. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population consisted all the 6,742 first year students from the 9 public and 5 Government approved private universities that enrolled for 2022/2023 academic session. A sample of 820 educational psychology students from the 14 schools approved to study educational psychology were selected through multistage sampling. The 2022 educational psychology multiple choice examination questions were adapted as instruments for the study. The instrument did not pass through validation and reliability as they were already good questions used by WAEC. Bilog MG software was used to answer the research questions while Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study among others showed that in 2022, seven items were deemed to have drifted significantly among the examinees. Of these seven drifting items, the drift parameter was positive for six items, indicating they became more difficult for the subsequent group of examinees. The one remaining items that exhibited significant drift became easier for the subsequent group of examinees. The study recommended among others that institution examination bodies should ensure that as items are re-used or repeated, response parameter must be updated and made more accurate to stated criteria before use.
