The Impact of Drug Abuse on The Learner's Academic Performance in Kisoro Municipality Kisoro District. by Arinitwe, Edward

“…The study recommended that students should reduce and if possible abstain from drugs taking if they are to keep track of education well and improve their academic performance, the government should intervene by putting strict laws on the way sellers of drugs should put the time to open their bars and to close them to reduce on drugs taking among people, students should look for other ways of reducing stress not to end it by drugs taking since it affects their brain and also affects their academic performance, students' leisure time should be spent productively on doing some activities like reading and discussing but not to spend it on drugs abusing if they are to move forward effectively with the education process and there should be massive sensitization on the dangers of drugs on academic performance of students to reduce and if possible end drugs taking among school learning children.…”

Study and application of the energy unit cutting theory and punching-blasting synergy permeability enhancement technology in tectonic anomaly areas of coal mines by Jingyu JIANG, Xiaobin DONG, Mintao WEI, Chenghao WANG, Yuanping CHENG, Xiaoning SHI

“…The generated explosive gases and directional stress waves can promote stress rebalancing. This alters the gradient of elastic and gas expansion energy in the coal body, effectively cutting the energy units in tectonic anomaly areas. ② The FALC3D numerical simulation shows that punching can reduce the stress in the coal around the hole. …”
