Description
The "Design and Implementation of an Automatic Railway Gate Control System" focuses on developing a safety system for managing railway level crossings to prevent accidents between cars and trains. In many regions, unguarded railway crossings pose a significant risk, leading to accidents when vehicles attempt to cross the tracks as a train approaches. This study addresses this challenge by designing a prototype system using Arduino Uno, servo motors, obstacle sensors, LCD screens, and a buzzer to automatically control the gates at railway crossings.
The primary objective of this project is to enhance safety by automatically closing the gate when a train is detected, ensuring that vehicles are kept off the tracks during the train's passage. Two obstacle sensors are employed to detect trains approaching from the north and south, triggering the closure of the gates through servo motors. LCD screens display train detection information, and a buzzer sounds an alert when the train is nearby. This prototype serves as a demonstration of how such technology can be implemented to improve safety at real-world railway crossings.
The significance of the study lies in its potential to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities at railway crossings, particularly in areas where manual gate control is impractical or unavailable. By automating the process, the system ensures timely gate closures, minimizing human error and reaction delays.
The methodology used in the study involved software-based development and testing of the system components. Arduino programming was employed to control the sensors, motors, and displays, simulating the real-time operation of the system. No questionnaires were used, as the project focused on technical implementation.
The findings indicate that the automatic gate control system successfully closes the gates when a train is detected, provides real-time alerts via the LCD screens, and triggers the buzzer to warn approaching vehicles. This system, though a prototype, demonstrates the feasibility of using automated systems for railway gate management.
In conclusion, the project demonstrates the potential for implementing automatic railway gate control systems to improve safety at crossings. With further development, such systems can be applied in real-world scenarios, helping to prevent accidents and save lives.

EFFECTS OF ALCOHOLISM AMONG THE YOUTHS- SOCIAL WORK AND COMMUNITY HEALTH RESEARCH PROJECT
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.

effects of compensation and benefit package on employees’ turnover and job satisfaction at Equity Bank, Nairobi , Kenya- hrm research project
The purpose of this research was to assess the effects of compensation and benefit package on employees’ turnover and job satisfaction at Equity Bank, Nairobi , Kenya . To achieve this objective, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 91 employees who were selected using simple random sampling technique. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data from employees of Equity Bank working in the Head office. Once the data were collected, they were coded, edited, and analyzed. The major findings indicated that in Equity Bank there are different compensation packages such as salary, transport allowance, hardship allowance, telephone allowance, etc. The bank is good at providing annual leave. However, it is weak in the following benefit packages: providing food and beverage to its employee, establishing employee clubs and implementing weak talent management practices, this means the existence of ineffective, redundant and not carrier related training practices. On the other hand, there are different other major problems. Employees do not participate in compensation and benefit decision-making process. Additionally, poor work environment and work culture prevail at the bank. These all may decrease job satisfaction and increase staff turnover. It can then be concluded that most of the respondents were not satisfied with the existing compensation and benefit packages because of the aforementioned reasons. Finally, the all findings lead to the thought that Equity Bank S.C. has to review its current compensation and benefit package in order to retain employees for long period of time (decrease turnover) and increase their job satisfaction.
