Evolution is the change over time. It leads to diversity , structural complexity and adaptive nature of plants. Organic evolution is a series of transformations in the genetic material of a population over time .The primary cause of evolution is natural selection in response to the changing environmental interactions

Nomenclature is the correct naming of plants according to specified rules. Plants were known by their common names during the pre-scientific times. The use of common names however are limited to geographical locations or cultures.

Names of plants may be formed in a number of ways; 1. Commemorative ; names may commemorate important persons; those have had major contributions in the science of plants (Botany). 2. Plants may be named after geographical place or feature 3. Names may come from myths 4. Names be as a result of some character a plant 5. Names may describe the habitat 6. Names may also denote resemblance to another 7. Some plant names are derived from culture

The word communication skills is derived from the Latin word ‘communicare’ that means to impart to participate, to share or to make common .

Cognition is a key aspect in lives of human beings. It is the aspect of human life that controls all the mental process as well as the activities in our daily lives. To be able to use our limbs, to communicate with people or to learn and perform a specific task we apply our cognitive resources. In essence cognition is omnipresent in all aspects in our lives. On the other hand psychology is a study of the mind and behavior. Through psychology, we learn about our emotions, our thought process and our behavior. Cognitive psychology helps us to understand our emotions, our thoughts and our behavior in response to our emotions and thoughts. We are also able to understand other people that we interact with based on psychology of our cognition. In this unit you will learn how cognitive process affects our thoughts, emotions and behavior. This will help you understand yourself better and those you interact with.

In this section we are going to introduce what child psychology is. Child psychology is also referred to as child development. It is the study of the psychological processes of children and, specifically, how these processes differ from those of adults, how they develop from birth to the end of adolescence, and how and why they differ from one child to the next. Child psychology represents an approach to understanding children through a description and an explanation of the psychological changes which children undergo in the course of time. For example as children grow older they form attachments to people, acquire language and learn to behave in ways that are rewarding. They become able to regulate their own behavior.

Questions and answers to APS 201 :INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY OF PERSONALITY paper.

Good Student, you are most welcome to this module I suppose that you have interacted with learning and more so psychology in your schooling. I suppose that you have heard about school psychology and probably come up with your own version of the meaning and what it entails in the field of psychology and learning especially when it relates to yourself, your colleagues, family siblings, community and the general society in which education is being emphasized by the government. There has been issues of education for all ideology, global and national millennium development goals of education, and Kenya’s vision 2030 where one of the pillars of expected developmental reforms is basically education. All this indicate that that schooling for all children becomes a key focal issue in the current government In this module, we will introduce you school psychology and explore the rationale for studying it and possible integrating it in our day today learning from psychological point of views in order to enhance effective and efficient learning and holistic wellness among teachers, students, management and even home environments.

Sex and Gender: Sex refers to the biological characteristics that categorize someone as either female or male; Gender refers to the socially determined ideas, roles and practices of what is expected of male or female. These ideas and roles are assigned by cultural beliefs of a community. Culture: This is distinctive patterns of ideas, beliefs, and norms which characterize the way of life and relations of society. We already said that culture defines the roles of men and women. This brings about gender stereotypes. For example we normally assume that women cannot be leaders or cannot initiate development for the family, only men can. This is a stereotype because there are many cases where women are actually the breadwinners of their families. Men cannot be good in child caring, another stereotype which prevents men from childcare duties even if they might be good at it. Another way to understand these concepts is to know the meaning of patriarchy; systemic societal structures that institutionalize male physical, social and economic power over women. That is why it is important to understand the concept of power relations; the hierarchical power between men and women that tend to disadvantage women.

Home based care and support refer to healthcare services delivered in the comfort and familiarity of a patient's home, rather than in a traditional medical facility. Home-based care is defined as any HIV and related care provided to people in their homes by formal or informal caregivers including physical, psychosocial, palliative, and spiritual activities, and is mainly provided by community-based organizations.

At equilibrium a system composed of several phases is governed by the phase rule: F = C – P + 2 F is the number of degrees of freedom, it is the least number of intensive variables that must be fixed/known to describe the system completely. C is the number of components and P is the number of phases present. The number of components is the smallest number of constituents by which the composition of each phase in the system at equilibrium can be expressed in the form of a chemical formula or equation.

At the end of the lectures on this topic you will be able to solve problems related to principal moment of inertia of rigid bodies. We are going to consider the general motion of a rigid body in space. This motion will consist of a translation of a fixed point of the body plus rotation about an axis through the fixed point which is not necessarily restricted in direction. Angular Momentum and Kinetic Energy First, we consider the angular momentum.

At the end of the lectures on this topic you will be able to understand the principles of conservation of linear momentum, angular momentum and energy of a system of particles. When we are considering the dynamics of a system of particles, we have to consider both the external forces acting on the particles due to sources outside the system and internal forces on the particles due to the sources within the system.

While solving the problems in dynamics, one must take account of the constraints that limit the motion of the system. Examples (i) In rigid bodies, constraints keep distance between the particles unchanged. (ii) The beads of an abacus are constrained to one dimensional motion by the supporting wires. (iii) Gas molecules in a container are constrained by the walls of the vessel to move only inside the container. (iv) A particle placed on the surface of a solid body is subject to the constraint that it can move only on the surface or in the region exterior to the body.

Research involves a critical analysis of existing conclusions or theories with regard to newly discovered facts i.e. it’s a continued search for new knowledge and understanding of the world around us.

The course will provide the necessary analytical foundation and engineering insight on the behaviour of determinate structures.
