Evaluation of Social Media and Students Participation in Politics: A Study of Students in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka
No full textThe emergence of social media has made it quite easy for students to participate in political matters. However, it has been observed that most youths use social media to participate in politics in ways that promote political violence and tension in the country. It is on this basis that this work set out to examine, amongst others, the extent of usage of social media by the undergraduate students of UNN in politics. The Uses and Gratification theory was the theoretical framework of this study. The survey research design was adopted for the study and a total of 375 respondents served as the sample size of the study. Among other findings, the research discovered that the respondents are highly exposed to social media and that they use social media to a high extent to participate in politics. Hence, some of the following recommendations were proffered. Tertiary institutions must make it their responsibility to train and produce students that are conscious of their activities and actions in ways that promote peace and unity in the nation. This could be achieved by conducting periodic seminars before, during, and after elections to educate and enlighten the students on the dangers associated with the dysfunctional use of the social media in participating in politics. Students and the general public should self-regulate their use of social media in participating in politics. This can be achieved by asking themselves if the ways they use social media are ethical and for the general good of all
A perceptual study of Ozisa FM We the people program on the Unknown Gunmen issue in Owerri municipal
No full textThe risk associated with insecurity is alarming as such people need to be security conscious in order to stay safe. The aim of the study was to investigate the public perception of Ozisa FM We the people programme on the Unknown gunmen issue in Owerri municipal council. The study was framed around the agenda setting theory. The study adopted a survey research approach with the use of questionnaire as the instrument for data collection. The population is 171,102, of which 384 were derived using Survey Monkey's online sample size calculator. The non-proportionate quota sampling and purposive sampling approaches were used. The data was analysed using simple percentages. Results revealed that 47.4% of the respondents confirmed that they are exposed to Ozisa FM's We the People Programme on the issue of the Unknown Gunmen to a moderate extent. Findings also showed that 55.0% of the respondents had the perception that the We the people programme has been effective in joining hands with the authority to curtail the Unknown Gunmen's activities. It was concluded that audience are moderately exposed to the Ozisa FM We the people programme. Despite their level of exposure to the programme they still perceive it in a positive light, due to its role in helping curtail the menace of the Unknown gunmen in Owerri, Imo State. It was recommended that they need to sustain their efforts in joining hands with the appropriate stakeholders with the goal of ending the issue of the Unknown gunmen, especially in Imo State
Studies on heavy metals and fish health indicators in Malapterurus electricus from Lekki Lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria
No full textThe aquatic ecosystem is constantly being disturbed by rising levels of different classes of pollutants of human origin in the form of urban, agricultural and industrial discharges. In this study, the health of fish Malapterurus electricus was examined, to serve as a reflection of the impact of anthropogenic disturbances in the Lekki lagoon. Eighty six samples of the fish were analysed for parasitic infections, heavy metals, microorganisms in their internal and external body parts while the proximate composition and fish condition factor were also determined using conventional methods. One parasite species, a cestode Electrotaenia malapteruri was found to infect the fish. Total parasite load was eighty five with a total prevalence of infection of 36%. Elements detected in sediment were of the order of Al>Fe>Mn>Pb>Cr>Zn>Cd>Ba>Cu>Ni while in water, it is Mn>Fe>Zn>Ba>Cd>Cr>Al>Cu>Ni>Pb. Metals analysed in the fish tissues were generally low and below regulatory limits. In the proximate analysis, moisture content has a value of 80.7%, while ash content had a value of 1.26%. Eight bacterial and two fungal species were isolated from the fish. The condition factor of fish varied between 1 and 2. The study provides valuable information for monitoring and management of heavy metal pollution in the aquatic ecosystem
Nutritional Composition of Some Selected Commercial Juice Made in Nigeria
No full textIntroduction: Nutrient-fortified food play a crucial role in addressing nutritional deficiencies among infants and children, making them more appealing for consumption. Research focuses on baby foods, particularly reconstituted juice drink, which serve as significant sources of essential minerals and vitamins. However, the nutrient composition of these products varies, leading to differences in quality. The objective of this study is to assess the disparities in the nutritional content of various children's juice drink available in the Nigerian market.
Methods: Proximate analysis was carried out according to the standard procedure of Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) to evaluate the nutritional composition of the selected juice drink. Minerals content were determined using Atomic Absorption and Flame Spectroscopy Techniques. The determination of the Vitamin A content in the samples was conducted following a modified Spectrophotometric Method. For Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), the Vitamin C content in the samples was assessed utilizing a Spectrometric Method coupled with 2,4 Dinitrophenyl hydrazine (DNPH) procedures.
Results: Examination of the proximate and mineral analyses of ten chosen fruit juice brands revealed notable variations. Capri sonne exhibited the highest moisture content at 94.2%, while Hollandia Yogurt has the lowest at 81.3%. Chapman, Nutri Milk, and Viju Apple Flavor Milk shared the highest ash content at 0.5%, whereas Hollandia Malt, Piko Orange, and Piko Strawberry displayed the lowest at 0.01%. Nestle Malt boasted the highest crude protein concentration at 4.38%, with Capri sonne recorded the lowest at 0.18%. Hollandia Yogurt and Hollandia Malt demonstrated the highest crude fiber content, while Vitavite Multivi, Piko Orange, and Piko Strawberry showed the lowest. Regarding total carbohydrates, Hollandia Yogurt topped the list at 14.6%, while Vitavite Multivi ranked lowest at 6.57%. Nestle Millo contained the highest vitamin C content at 25.7%, whereas Piko Strawberry has the lowest at 3.82%. Caprosonne registered the highest vitamin A content at 0.6%. In terms of mineral analysis, Hollandia Yogurt exhibited the highest sodium percentage at 22.6mg/g, while Nestle led in calcium, iron, and magnesium content at 120.4mg/g, 1.7mg/g, and 25.5mg/g, respectively. It can therefore be inferred from the outcome of this study that, Milo Nestle is the best drink for children due to its higher protein, carbohydrate, vitamins (A and C) and minerals (Ca, Mg, Fe, Na) contents, followed by Hollandia Malt as compared to other juice studied.
Cooperation between patients and nurses in the surgery department
No full textBakalaura darba tēma ir „Māsas un pacienta sadarbība ķirurģijas nodaļā”. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot māsu un pacientu sadarbības modeli ķirurģijas nodaļā un izvirzītā hipotēze ir: māsas un pacienta sadarbības modelis balstīts uz verbālo komunikāciju, kuras mērķis ir pacientu izglītošana.
Pētnieciskā darba uzdevumi:
1.Analizēt zinātnisko literatūru par pacientu aprūpi, māsu darbību, saskarsmi, izglītošanu, mācīšanu un sadarbību
2.Analizēt D.Oremas teoriju
3.Izstrādāt anketu, interviju un veikt pilotpētījumu
4.Veikt anketēšanu un intervēšanu
5.Apkopot un analizēt iegūtos rezultātus
6.Izdarīt secinājumus
Bakalaura darbā tiek rakstīts par darba organizāciju un galvenājām saslimšanām koloproktoloģijas nodaļā, par māsas un pacientu sadarbību, kurā iekļauts mācīšanas un saskarsmes skaidrojums, par perioperatīvo aprūpi, kura iedalās trīs posmos – pirmsoperāciju periods, ķirurģiskās operācijas periods, pēcoperāciju periods.
Savā darbā autore izmantoja Dorotejas Oremas māsu pašaprūpes teoriju. Savā teorijā D. Orema nosaka terapeitiskās pašaprūpes darbību un to, kā māsa ar klientu strādā kopā, lai sasniegtu vēlamos mērķus. Šajā gadījumā, sekmīgu atveseļošanos pēc operācijas.
1.Pētījuma hipotēze ir apstiprinājusies, jo 76% respondentu (pacienti) ir atbildējuši, ka māsas, izglītojot pacientus, vairāk izmanto verbālo saskarsmes veidu un intervijas rezultātos māsas atbildējušas, ka izglītojot pacientus izmanto verbālo saskarsmi un pēc vajadzības pielieto neverbālo saskarsmes veidu. Vēl respondenti (pacienti) ar jautājumu par to, kā viņiem vieglāk uztvert informāciju, ir apstiprinājuši, ka tieši mutiska komunikācija liek vieglāk uztvert informāciju, jo tikai 9% no apjautātajiem respondentiem atbildējuši, ka rakstisku informāciju uztvert ir vieglāk. Var secināt, ka izglītošanas procesā svarīgākais ir mutiska komunikācija, tātad verbāla saskarsme.
2.Autore secina, ka māsas nespēj pietiekami daudz komunicēt un aprūpēt pacientus kvalitatīvi, laika trūkuma dēļ, līdz ar to arī 28% respondentu (pacientu) pētījumā ir atbildējuši, ka māsām vajadzētu vairāk komunicēt ar pacientu. Mainot sadarbības modeli nodaļā uzlabotos aprūpes kvalitāte un komunikācija ar pacientiem pieaugtu.
Atslēgvārdi: koloproktoloģija, aprūpe, saskarsme, sadarbība, māsa, pacients, izglītošanaBachelor's thesis: „Cooperation between patients and nurses in the surgery department”.

Bachelor thesis is written about work organization and leading conditions in coloproctology department, about nurse and patient cooperation.Which includes learning and communication explanation about perioperactive care which falls in three episodes - pre operation period, surgery period, after surgery period.
Author in her work used Dorathy Oremas nurse self care theory. Theory by Orem down for therapethic act and that, how nurse and costumer work together to reach desired results in this care with successful recovery after operation.
1. Research hypothesis is confirmed that 76% patients have responded, that nurses, educate patients, more verbally and result of interview nurces responded, that educating patients verbally helps a lot. More patients responded on question about, how better perceive information - was verbally. As only 9% patients, who took pool responded that written information is easier. It can be concluded, that the educational process is the most important verbal communication.
2. Author concluding that nurces fail to communicate enaugh and care for patients with hight standards as lack of time don't let them do that. 28% of patient responded that nurces would need communicate more with patients. Changing collaborative model in ward would improve the quality of care and communication with patients will rise.

Rediscovery From the Past
Several years ago, Howard Boyle, our
president, heard John Wunderle give a talk
about the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal that
1 inks Akron with Pittsburgh. He didn't think
about it too much, until one day last spring
while walking with his son, he remembered
John's talk and decided to take h1s son to an
old culvert about wh1ch Mr. Wunderle had
spoken.
Howard remembered that the culvert was
off Mogadore Road, across the railroad
tracks, down by the river and somewhere in
the vicinity of the old Lamson and Sessions
plant. The hunt was on, and after a wh11e,
they found the culvert in almost perfect
condition. The aqueduct over it was gone,
but you could st111 see where ft had been,
and the towpath was still v1sible. The
who1e area was overgrown with trees and
brush, but in their imagination they could
visualize a canal boat being pulled across
the aqueduct.
They could almost hear the plod of the
mu1es· hooves and the commands of the
driver. Perhaps their imagination heard the
sound of a s1xteen year old James Garfield
driving the mules. Howard thought, "Isn't it
a shame that this forgotten waterway is 1n
a place so remote that hardly anyone knows
lt exists.''
How could this be changed? Perhaps there
was an easier way to get to the culvert. So
they started walking down the side of the
railroad tracks and after a whlle they
spotted an old railroad tresse1 go1ng across
the Cuyahoga river. It too was in exce I lent
condition. A 11 the tresse 1 needed to be a
footbridge was a deck and some handrails.
The tressel runs from Fred Fuller Park, and
appears l1ke it might have been a 11nk.
between the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad
to join the B & O Railroad. Howard
wondered, "Could we somehow make this
into a walking or bicycle trail from the
Park?"
The follow1ng week Howard called the Kent
Recreation Department and told them of h1s
rediscovery and of his idea of a walking
trail. The dtrector of the department
became very interested in some type of
joint participation project to make the tra11
become a reality. He then presented his idea
to the Historical Society Board of Trustees,
and it was agreed that we should pursue and
undertake such a project.
we may be coming back to you sometime 1n
the future for your help and support.

The Ohio Canal System
The first ment1on of an Inland waterway
system was made by George Washington
sometime in the 1770's. At that time, it
was just too difficult to freight
commod1ties overland by wagon and an
alternative method was needed. It wasn't
untl 1 1818 that a waterway system was
mentioned aga1n, 1n the inaugural address of
Governor Ethan Brown. In 1822 the Ohio
leg1s1ature authorized the survey of f 1ve
possible routes.
In 1822, wheat sold 1n Ohio for 25.00 to sh1p that same
bushe 1 to Pittsburgh. Someth1ng had to be
done to make Ohio wheat compet1tive. In
1827, the Pennsylvania and Ohio route (one
of seven routes in Ohio) was started. ft was
also called the Big Ditch or the crosscut to
Pennsylvania. On April 03, 1840 the first
canal boat sailed from Beaver, PA., to Akron,
a distance of 86 miles. The workers who
bu11t the canal recetved 1,300,000.00.
During the hey day of the canal, twenty-f 1ve
to fffty boats per day passed through the
locks 1n Kent, but these good times d1d not
last very long. Eleven years later, in 1851,
the opening of the Cleveland and P1ttsburgh
· ra11road signa1ed the end of the canal's
success. The maximum speed of a boat was
four miles per hour wh11e a tra1n could
travel at speeds up to forty m11es per hour.
The trains could also operate a11 winter and
carry a much larger payload.
A second ranroad, the Cleveland and
Mahon1ng, eventually put the canal out of
business. In 1872, the last boat traveled
the canal with a load of 11mestone, ending an
era of Oh1o h1story.

No full textBackgroundIn order for low and middle income countries (LMIC) to transition to Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) test based cervical cancer screening, a greater understanding of how to implement these evidence based interventions (EBI) among vulnerable populations is needed. This paper documents outcomes of an implementation research on HPV screening among women from tribal, rural, urban slum settings in India.MethodsA mixed-method, pragmatic, quasi-experimental trial design was used. HPV screening on self-collected cervical samples was offered to women aged 30–60 years. Implementation strategies were 1) Assessment of contextual factors using both qualitative and quantitative methods like key informant interviews (KII), focus group discussions (FGDs), pre-post population sample surveys, capacity assessment of participating departments 2) enhancing provider capacity through training workshops, access to HPV testing facility, colposcopy, thermal ablation/cryotherapy at the primary health care centers 3) community engagement, counselling for self-sampling and triage process by frontline health care workers (HCWs). Outcomes were assessed using the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance) framework.ResultsScreening rate in 8 months’ of study was 31.0%, 26.7%, 32.9%, prevalence of oncogenic HPV was 12.1%, 3.1%, 5.5%, compliance to triage was 53.6%, 45.5%, 84.6% in tribal, urban slum, rural sites respectively. Pre-cancer among triage compliant HPV positive women was 13.6% in tribal, 4% in rural and 0% among urban slum women. Unique challenges faced in the tribal setting led to programme adaptations like increasing honoraria of community health workers for late-evening work and recalling HPV positive women for colposcopy by nurses, thermal ablation by gynaecologist at the outreach camp site.ConclusionsSelf-collection of samples combined with HCW led community engagement activities, flexible triage processes and strengthening of health system showed an acceptable screening rate and better compliance to triage, highlighting the importance of identifying the barriers and developing strategies suitable for the setting.Trial registrationCTRI/2021/09/036130.</div
