CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION





1.0 BACKGROUND OF STUDY


A morgue or mortuary (in a hospital or elsewhere) is used for the storage of human corpses awaiting identification or removal for autopsy or disposal by burial, cremation or other method. In modern times corpses have customarily been refrigerated to delay decomposition.
Mortuary early 14c., from Anglo-French mortuarie "gift to a parish priest from a deceased parishioner," from Medieval Latin mortuarium, noun use of neuter of Late Latin adjective mortuarius "pertaining to the dead," from Latin mortuus, pp. of mori "to die" (see mortal (adj.)). Meaning "place where bodies are kept temporarily" first recorded 1865, a euphemism for earlier English term "deadhouse."
Morgue from the French morgue, which means 'to look at solemnly, to defy'. First used to describe the inner wicket of a prison, where new prisoners were kept so that jailers and turnkeys could recognize them in the future, it took on its modern meaning in fifteenth-century Paris, being used to describe part of the Châtelet used for the storage and identification of unknown corpses.
Morgue is predominantly used in North American English, while mortuary is more common in British English, although both terms are used interchangeably. The euphemisms “Rose Cottage” and “Rainbow’s End” are sometimes used in British hospitals to enable discussion in front of patients, the latter mainly for children.
A person responsible for handling and washing bodies is now known as a diener, morgue attendant, or autopsy technician.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM


The following problems were identified in the existing system at the case study:
1. Inability to keep the proper record of number human body in mortuary
2. Error in computation of available space in the mortuary
3. Inability to accurately calculate bill for mortuary service
4. Errors in computation of mortuary bills.
5. Difficulties in obtaining mortuary bills report.

1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The aim of the study is to develop a mortuary management system. The following are the specific objectives to realize the needed aim:
1. To design web application that can keep the proper record of number human body in mortuary
2. To design web application that can give accurate computation of available space in the mortuary
3. To design a system that can be utilized to accurately bill for mortuary services.
4. To design a database system that can be used to store mortuary billing records.
5. To design a system that can be used to obtain mortuary bill reports.

1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY


The study is significant in the following ways:
1. It will provide the mortuary division of St. Gerards Catholic Hospital kaduna with an effective system to accurately compute and record mortuary bills.
2. It will aid easy management of mortuary billing information.
3. It will serve as a reference material for future research.
1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of this study will center on design and implementation of Mortuary management system for St. Gerards Catholic Hospital kaduna


1.6 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY


Usually, every work has some limitations and this study is not exempted.
The two major limitations of this study are the high programming technique as well as financial constraints. The high programming technique constraint in PHP, JQUERY and MYSQL prevents the researcher to have an in depth study and analysis on the subject matter. While the issue of financial constraint limits the frequency of investigation to/from the institution toward gathering the necessary information relevant for the study.

TIME MANAGEMENT TIPS IN RESEARCH: 10 THINGS TO NOTE

By
TIME MANAGEMENT TIPS IN RESEARCH: 10 THINGS TO NOTE Research work could take the most unexpected twist and turn. It is a nerve-racking experience. Usually, if approached in a haphazard manner, valuable time could be lost. In big research corporations, each researcher has a set of responsibilities and area of focus, this might help and aid timely completion of research work. However, in personal or unstructured research work, these tips on time management are life-saving. Without any bias to any form of research, these tips are generally applicable. 1. Read up! This is the first thing to do to ensure completion of research in the quickest possible timeframe. There is no end to the amount of underground pre-knowledge on any research work to be embarked upon. This will help guide in decision-making during the research. 2. Quite naturally , the first is to make a plan or strategy from the onset. This has been rehashed numerous times. But the key to the plan or strategy working out...

A STEP BY STEP GUIDE ON RESEARCH PROJECT WRITING FOR UNIVERSITIES, COLLEGES OF EDUCATION AND POLYTECHNICS IN NIGERIA

By
A STEP BY STEP GUIDE ON RESEARCH PROJECT WRITING FOR UNIVERSITIES, COLLEGES OF EDUCATION AND POLYTECHNICS IN NIGERIA Undergraduate research project is an independent effort required of students in tertiary institutions. The students, though supervised by an academic staff, are to carry out a pre-determined research within the constraints of their study. The supervisor is primarily to receive proposals of the research interest, approve it, provide guidance and assess the work at the end. An external supervisor is usual, to provide an external and independent assessment of their research work. The proposal for the topic is to include the intended subject of study, a brief description, justification for the work, aims and milestones, software and hardware to be employed, assumptions to be made, the methodologies involved and the references. There are standards in the research build-up, actual research, and presentation and print submissions. These put the students in shape for th...
