“…The study revealed that inspectors were not giving schools sufficient notice of inspection and therefore tended to predominantly use surprise visits without involvement of the schools in the planning of inspection. This finding confirms observation by some scholars (Aleesha, 2012;Hossain, 2017;Tanah, 2011;Wilcox, 2000) that in the majority of inspections, schools were neither informed nor involved in the planning of inspection. Thus, the Ugandan school inspection system can be considered as lacking in participatory planning, tending to catch schools unawares by not providing advance notice and therefore likely to be counterproductive.…”

The study examined inspection practices in secondary schools in Western Uganda. Towards achieving this objective, a Concurrent Triangulation Mixed Methods Design, involving questionnaire survey and interview, with a total of 399 participants in the categories of teachers, head teachers, school inspectors from 36 secondary schools in four districts of Western Uganda, was adopted. Quantitative data to test the resultant hypothesis were analysed using Chi Square Goodness of Fit Test while qualitative data were analysed using Qualitative Content Analysis. The study revealed that inspection practices in secondary schools were perceived as largely ineffective. The study concluded that despite the value attached to school inspection in the theoretical, political, and institutional and policy debates, inspectors continue to think and act according to the traditional notions of school inspection as evidenced by practices hinged on control. The major implication of the study is that understanding the practices before, during and after school inspection will allow policy makers, inspectors, teachers and headteachers to design better practices and benefit from them. The study also proposes a theoretical model for effective school inspection that requires further research and measurement to determine its validity so that lessons can be learnt that can assist inspectors in the future.

This study uses C4.5 algorithm to classify potentially large-profit businesses in the city of Surakarta. The data used are street vendors who are divided into 4 types of merchandise namely snacks, snacks, heavy foods and drinks. The locations that are targeted for classification are Car Free Day. The division of the Car Free Day zone was carried out to find out which areas had more influence on certain foods to get big profits. Car free day zone is divided into 4 parts, namely purwosari area - rumah makan diamond, rumah makan diamond - toko buku gramedia, toko buku gramedia - ngarsopuro and the last one is ngarsopuro – bundaran gladag.

“…A N U S C R I P T process), and temperature-dependent flow stresses have been identified by Debroy et al [5] as the key factors contributing to residual stresses in the PBF process. Residual stresses are undesirable because they can degrade the mechanical properties [5,[18][19][20], induce cracks and delamination [21], and distort the PBF-built part which can lead to interference of the part with the recoater blade [22] and lower dimensional tolerances [23], thus necessitating a detailed understanding of the origin of residual stresses with a view to mitigating them.…”
