Abstract: Temperature is an essential weather component because of its tremendous impact on humans and the environment. As a result, one of the widely researched parts of global climate change study is temperature forecasting. This study examines the monthly average temperature levels for year 2008 to 2020 in  Jos, Nigeria. A preliminary check on the time series plot of the data showed that the series was not stationary. The classical Box and Jenkins Time Series methodology with its indicative ACF and PACF identification guide was employed. The ARIMA (3, 1, 3) model was found to be adequate for the series and the monthly forecast from 2021 to 2024 showcased relatively stable temperature values within these years.. In the end, it was recommended that studying and carefully applying ARIMA models could help scientists and decision-makers in formulating effective policies for flood prediction, urban planning, and environmental management.

Abstract: Mathematical understanding is a critical concern in mathematics education and instruction. It holds a fundamental role in mathematical activities, and all mathematics teaching activities must aim to achieve mathematical understanding. To attain mathematical understanding, we must clarify its connotations and forms. Mathematical understanding is a form of thinking, a process that involves recognizing the essential characteristics of mathematical objects based on existing knowledge and experience. Mathematical understanding manifests through two primary forms: intuition and abstraction.

Keywords: Mathematical Understanding; Mathematical Intuition; Mathematical Abstraction.

Abstract: This study examined curbing youth migration through sustainable industrialization and economic empowerment in Rivers State; the role of technical and vocational education and training programmes. Specifically, this study sought to investigate the causes of youth migration to overseas; examine the youth economic empowerment role of TVET in curbing youth migration in Rivers State; and to identify the industrial role of TVET in curbing youth migration in Rivers State. Three research questions and hypotheses were answered and tested at 0.05 level of significance. A descriptive survey design guided the study. The population of the study comprised 100 technical education lecturers and 144 final year technical education students in the three tertiary institutions in Rivers State that offer TVET. The population was manageable, therefore, the entire population was used for the study, and hence no sampling technique was used for the study. Self-made survey questionnaire served as the instrument for the study. The instrument was face validated by two experts. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient which yielded a coefficient of 74. Mean and Standard Deviation were used to answer the research questions while z-test statistical tool was used to test the hypotheses. The study found among others that high poverty level, low economic performance, bad governance are the causes of youth migration while TVET improves the living condition and livelihood of the youths, creates employment in both rural and urban areas, equip youths with requisite knowledge, and skills to be engaged, transforms nation economy and creates platform for production. It was recommended among others that Nigerian leaders should cultivate a youth-friendly socioeconomic environment by providing technical know-how, resources for youth to thrive.

Keywords: Migration, TVET, Sustainable Industrialization, & Economic Empowerment.
