Description

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of alcoholism on the youths of Roka location, in Kilifi County. The study was guided by the research objectives which were; to identify the causes of alcoholism among the youths, to analyze the effects of alcoholism among the youths, to find out the measures that can be initiated to deal with the problem of alcoholism among the youths. The study will be of great significance as the effort to address alcoholism is the key for the community development. The study will cover all youths of Roka location and the information that will be acquired will facilitate the understanding of the causes of alcoholism. The study involved the literature review that showed the patterns of alcoholism in the World, in Africa and in Kenya. The theories that spearheaded the issue of alcoholism like; the Deviant and SocialDisorganization perspectives were also used. The study site was Roka location in Kilifi County and the adopted research design was the descriptive survey. Forty (40) respondents and ten (10) key informants were used for the study. The provision of information was through the Questionnaire and Interview methods. The research found that the factors leading to excessive alcohol consumption among the youths in the study area included; peer influence, unemployment, desire to reduce stress, and media influence. The effects of alcohol consumption to the youths according to the study findings were; school dropout, increased thefts, loss of jobs, committing suicide, wastage of money, increased stress, poor coordination, slurred speech, destruction of reproductive system, damage of; the brain, liver, kidney, and breast, contraction of HIV, and death. In relation to the measures used to address the problems of alcoholism, the research established that, both the Community and the Government measures were employed. In conclusion, the research pointed out that, excessive alcohol consumption has more negative effects as compared to the positive effects. Due to this therefore, the research spearheaded on the issue of exerting more efforts by the Community members and the Government. Apart from the efforts made by the community members and the Government, the research recommended that the County Government of Kilifi and the National Government should come up with policies to establish more Agricultural projects that could employ youths, train the village elders and the chiefs on the best ways of dealing with alcoholism, and also to come up with more rehabilitation centers. The roles of rehabilitation centers in dealing with excessive alcohol consumption are to be considered for further attitudes.

Design and implementation of three phase motor using single phase supply and capacitor project report- electrical telecommunication option
The design and implementation of a 3-phase motor using a single-phase power supply with the aid of a capacitor addresses a key challenge in electrical motor systems, particularly in areas where 3-phase power is unavailable or impractical. 3-phase motors are known for their efficiency, reliability, and smooth operation, which makes them ideal for industrial applications. However, many environments only provide single-phase power, necessitating conversion techniques to operate these motors effectively. This project explores the development of a phase conversion method using a start and run capacitor to create the required phase shift that allows a 3-phase motor to run on a singlephase power source. Capacitors are used to generate an artificial phase, thereby creating a pseudo-3-phase system. The design focuses on the optimal selection of capacitors to ensure the balance between phases, improve motor efficiency, and reduce vibration and noise. This approach is both cost-effective and practical for small to medium-scale motor applications. The implementation involved the detailed analysis of the motor's electrical requirements, the calculation of capacitance values necessary to achieve proper phase shifting, and the design of the connection circuitry. Testing and performance evaluation showed that while the 3-phase motor operating with a single-phase input through a capacitor arrangement does not achieve the full performance of a true 3-phase power system, it is still adequate for many applications where high power or precision control is not critical. This system provides a practical and affordable solution for running 3-phase motors in environments constrained by single-phase power supplies, making it a viable option for industries and small businesses like development country as Rwanda.

DESIGN OF AUTOMETED GAS LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM- PROJECT REPORT ELECTRICAL TELECOMMUNICATION OPTION
This project presents the design and implementation of automated Gas leak detector and ventilation system, aimed at enhancing safety in environments where LPG is used. The system utilizes an Arduino Uno microcontroller, an MQ2 gas sensor, an SG90 micro servo motor, a fan, and a buzzer to detect gas leaks, alert users, and initiate a ventilation process. The MQ2 sensor detects LPG concentrations and triggers the fan and buzzer when dangerous levels are detected, ensuring timely mitigation of potential hazards. Key findings from the system's evaluation showed that the gas detection mechanism was effective, with the MQ2 sensor detecting LPG concentrations as low as 500 ppm and triggering the fan and alarm at 1000 ppm. The system demonstrated a response time of less than 5 seconds, and the ventilation system reduced gas concentration by 50% within the first 5 minutes of operation. The components used, including the servo motor and fan, functioned reliably throughout the testing phase.
