Unassisted home birth exposes mother and child to the most harmful complications. These complications are identified as one of the main causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Goal: To study the factors favoring home births in the Monisso health area. Method: Descriptive cross-sectional study in the period from January 1 to December 31, 2020 in the Monisso health area. Results: The proportion of home births was 80% (N= 210). The reasons given were respectively: the brevity of the labor of delivery (31.55%), the lack of financial means (25.60%), socio-cultural reasons (23.21%), the long distance between the village and the CSCOM (12 .5%), the high cost of delivery costs in the health center (6.55%). Conclusion: Home births are still very common in rural areas, particularly in developing countries.

Cervical cancer occurs due to Infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) and subsequent integration of the HPV genome into the host chromosome of cervical epithelial cells. The viral proto-oncogenes, mainly E6 and E7, are responsible for the initial changes in the epithelial cells of the transformation zone of the cervix. The viral proteins inactivate two main tumor suppressor proteins, p53, and retinoblastoma (pRb). Inactivation of these host proteins disrupts both the DNA repair mechanisms and apoptosis, leading to rapid cell proliferation. Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer among women worldwide, it ranked 14th among all cancers worldwide. There are 500,000 new cases of cancer of the cervix annually, and about 250,000 mortalities all over the world from cervical cancer. About 80% of all these cases occur in low-income countries. In Nigeria, there are 12,075 new cases of cervical cancer and 7,968 deaths due to cervical cancer per year. The study was a cross-sectional type aimed at exploring the knowledge of the participants on cancer of the cervix and their attitude toward cervical cancer screening using a semi-structured questionnaire in FMC Nguru. Results: The total number of participants was 29(n=29). The mean age of the respondents was 20.9 +/-2. 8SD. Concerning the knowledge of cervical cancer among the participants, 27(93.1%) heard of cervical cancer. Most of the respondents do not know the cause of cervical cancer, as only 10(34.5%) know that cervical cancer is associated with HPV. The risk factors for cervical Cancer are not known by most of the respondents as 14(48.3%) agreed that having a relative who had the disease is a risk factor, while only 10(34.5%) agreed that HPV is a cause of the pathology. There was poor knowledge regarding the presentation of cancer of the cervix, abnormal vaginal bleeding is the most popular way of presentation known by 13(44.8%) of the respondents while only 8(27.6%) know that cervical cancer can present with bleeding after sexual intercourse, five of the respondents (17.2%) showed smelling vaginal discharge as the mode of presentation, dysuria by only 2(6.9%). A good number of the participants know about cervical screening 26(89.7%). Twenty-eight respondents (96.6%) are willing to go and have themselves screened for cervical cancer if they are asked to do so, and 27(93.1%) will advise some other people to go for the screening. A good number of the respondents, 27(93.1%) are aware that cancer of the cervix can be prevented. Conclusion: The students had a good awareness of cervical cancer and cancer of the cervix screening and had a positive attitude toward having themselves screened whenever the chance was available, and also had a positive attitude toward being willing to convince other people to go for the screening, but demonstrated less knowledge on cervical cancer causes, risk factors and mode of presentation. Hence there is a window of opportunity to deliver more health education to the students and by extension to the larger population.

Stylistics is a branch of linguistic studies, which uses the linguistic features in analysing literary texts and other works of art. Stylistics is also seen as the academic study of styles, where a scholar can look at the language and style of any author he chooses to study. This research work looks at the Ijaw linguistic features Ebi Yeibo employs in The Fourth Masquerade to send his intended messages to his readers. The work's title is The Significance of the Ijaw Linguistic Features in Ebi Yeibo's The Fourth Masquerade. The Ijaw linguistic features are identified and interpreted to the readers. The theoretical frameworks chosen as guides to the study are: Leo Spitzer's Philological Circle and Geoffrey N. Leech's Style as Deviation models. The study adopts the Qualitative Approach as the methodology because it is interpretative, descriptive, analytic and evaluative in nature. The aim of the study is to project the fact that code-mixing and code- switching are veritable linguistic tools in a language contact situation. The data of the study is collected through primary and secondary sources, which include: the careful reading of the primary texts, excerpts from a personal interview with the author, and comments from other critics. The work is significant to both researchers, scholars, critics and the society in general because it reveals that an analysis of a literary text from a linguistic standpoint is possible. The study explicates that Yeibo uses lexical borrowings, Ijaw idioms/proverbs, native rhetorical patterns, semantic extension and dislocation, etc. to address the themes of corruption, oppression, poverty, protest, bureaucratic inefficiency of government and institutional and moral decay of the Niger Delta.

This study investigated one of Kenya’s foremost political commentary vlogs – The 5th Estate as a rich site on how multimodal resources are marshaled by Mutahi Ngunyi, the vlog’s creator and political analyst, to construct the identity of an authoritative political analyst. Whereas there are several studies on identity construction on social media platforms, little research on identity construction focusing specifically on vlogging exist. More so, there is scanty investigation of identity construction strategies used by vloggers who specialise in political commentary. Using the Systemic Functional – Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA) approach, the research investigated how audience reaction aid in the construction of individual’s identity. The research adopted a qualitative perspective and more specifically a descriptive-interpretive design. Data which included vlogs posted on The 5th Estate since its establishment on 19th February, 2019 to date constituted the population of study from which four most popular vlogs were sampled. Data for research was collected, transcribed and analysed using content analysis technique. Knowledge generated by this study is expected to fill the existing gaps in political communications and new media research concerning identity construction in social media. The study could also be useful to politicians, political influencers and government agents who may want to adopt vlogging to communicate to their audience efficiently and effectively. The study concluded that audience reaction plays an important role in shaping Identity of an individual by affirmation of the message, use of descriptive words that describe the author, or titles ascribed to the author.

The signing of the Nigerian Petroleum Industry Act in 2021 by the Buhari administration signified a paradigm shift from voluntary to statutory mandated community investment strategy of oil and gas companies in Nigeria. In order words, the discretionary Community investment strategies (Memorandum of Understanding) hitherto employed by oil and gas production and exploration companies to ameliorate the squabbles between them and their respective host community, and thereby gain unhindered access to operate no longer obtains. The deployment framework, processes and procedures to guide its (PIA) implementation is stated in the ACT. Also, further clarifications on gray areas in the ACT were expounded in the Nigeria Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) guidelines. However, despite the robustness of the ACT and the NUPRC guidelines, settlors and host communities alike have raised pertinent questions regarding its implementation. The paper is aimed at objectively identifying the existing gaps in the Petroleum Industry Act and the NUPRC guideline as it relates to the host community component with a view to suggests/recommends possible solutions.

Disputes are common in construction projects due to their dynamic and complex nature. If project leaders ignore finding resolution quickly, these disputes can impact negatively on project performance. Therefore, effective dispute resolution is important for successful project performance and closure as well. This paper comprehensively explores the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) techniques for construction disputes focusing on negotiation, mediation, arbitration, expert determination, and adjudication. The study investigates the effectiveness and applications of each ADR method, emphasizing the advantages of ADR, including time and cost savings, confidentiality, and relationship preservation. This paper provides a better understanding of these mechanisms for anyone involved in construction projects. Furthermore, the paper offers a strategic approach to choosing the most suitable ADR method, considering factors such as financial constraints, organizational dynamics, legal requirements, and the nature of the dispute.

Disputes are common in construction projects due to their complex nature. However, disputes are costly and it requires more money, time, and resources to find resolutions. By identifying the causes of disputes, project leaders can find measures to prevent or mitigate such possible disputes in construction projects. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the major causes of disputes in construction projects. Secondary data from the studies done from 2019 to 2023 were used for this study and the results revealed 50 causes of disputes in construction projects. Further, these causes were categorized into four categories that are client related, consultant related, contractor related, and other causes of disputes. The results of this study show that among the 50 common causes of disputes, 36% is consultant related, and 34% is client related issues. Other than that, 51% of causes of disputes emerge during the pre-contract phase. This study also identified the research gaps and areas that need future studies.

Introduction: Cervical cancer, a significant public health issue, necessitates reliable diagnostic strategies for early detection and management. In the pursuit of effective cervical cancer screening strategies, the integration of colposcopy and HPV-DNA testing is critical, especially in high-risk populations. The study evaluates the diagnostic efficacy of these methods in patients presenting with symptoms indicative of potential cervical malignancy. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, President Abdul Hamid Medical College and Hospital, Kishoreganj, Bangladesh. The study included a total of 82 participants collected over a 1-year period from July 2022 to June 2023 following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients with VIA Positive diagnosis, abnormal pap-smear results, contact or abnormal per-vaginal bleeding, foul-smelling per-vaginal discharge, and an unhealthy cervix were included in the study, while currently pregnant women, nulliparous, and postmenopausal women, patients with cervical or vaginal growths, and non-cooperative patients were excluded from the study. Result: The mean age of participants was 36.51 years, with most marriages occurring at an average age of 17.07 years. The study identified a high prevalence of multipara status (50.0% had 2-3 children, 36.6% had more than 3). The majority of first deliveries occurred between ages 16 and 22. A significant correlation was found between age and parity (r = .502, p < .01), and a strong association between age of marriage and age at first delivery (r = .815, p < .01). HPV-DNA positivity was 7.3%, while abnormal colposcopy findings (CIN I-III) were observed in 40.7% of cases. Negative correlations were observed between age of marriage and colposcopy findings (r = -.308, p < .01). Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of age, marital history, and parity in the context of cervical cancer screening. The low HPV-DNA positivity rate compared to the higher incidence of abnormal colposcopy findings suggests the need for a combined diagnostic approach. The findings advocate for tailored cervical cancer screening strategies that integrate both colposcopy and HPV-DNA testing, especially in resource-limited settings.

Brand Image, Social Media, Perceived Price have a positive effect on Purchase Intention, but Perceived Quality and Celebity Endorser have no influence on Purchase Intention.

Background: The ability of the first responder to identify and effectively treat hypovolemic shock will determine whether or not a child with severe volume depletion survives in the emergency room. Although the fundamentals of fluid and electrolyte therapy have been studied for decades, the issue is still difficult to resolve because there is no universally accepted therapeutic care approach. Objectives: This systematic review aims to study the updated management of dehydration and electrolyte disturbance in children and infants. Methods: PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were systematically searched for relevant literature. Rayyan QRCI was employed throughout this comprehensive process. Results & interpretation: This review included a total of ten studies with 2285 patients, and 883 (38.6%) were males. According to this comprehensive study, home-based therapy and ORS were successful in straightforward instances. Other methods, such as ORS plus Xyloglucan and ORS with honeybee added, were secure and efficient in reducing the frequency of vomiting and diarrhea. The electrolyte balance and rehydration of the patients were improved by diluted apple juice, rehydration treatments, and preferred fluids. However, gelatin tannate proved ineffective for rehydrating the child, although it advised against ever stopping breastfeeding. Drugs like intravenous Metoclopramide and Domperidone demonstrated efficacy for treating pediatric dehydration in the event that ORS failed.

In China, due to the lack of a real language learning environment, the main place for students to contact English is the classroom. Therefore, teachers’ discourse in the classroom has an important impact on learners’ language acquisition. Specifically, on the one hand, teacher talk can organize and manage classroom teaching. On the other hand, it is conducive to students’ language input. At the same time, senior high school is a key period for students to learn English. The impact of excellent teacher talk on students’ language acquisition is beneficial. As a result, at this stage, it is vital to study teacher talk. Based on the input hypothesis proposed by Krashen and the interaction hypothesis proposed by Long, this article selects a senior teacher and her class in Zhengji senior high school in Jiangsu Province as the research object, and uses the method of naturalistic observation to observe and record the teacher’s discourse in the classroom. Then, through the analysis of the data, the current situation of English teachers’ classroom discourse in senior high schools is investigated in three ways in this thesis: the quantity of teacher talk, questioning methods and feedback methods, analyzes the existing problems, and tries to offer some sound counsel. Through research and analysis, this article draws the following conclusions: 1. Teachers are fully aware of the main role of students in classroom discourse, are changing the traditional teacher-centered teaching model, and strive to make students more involved in classroom activities. 2. Teachers should reasonably use the method of questioning in the classroom to combine display questions with referential questions, so as to cultivate students’ innovative thinking ability. 3. Teachers should use a variety of feedback methods to continuously stimulate students’ learning motivation and increase the number of possibilities for kids to develop language.

The domestic dog is a non-seasonal breeder. The female is monestrus and has a reproductive cycle that is marked by extended periods of proestrus and estrus. The estrous period is characterized by an estrogen peak that coincides with rising circulating progesterone concentration prior to ovulation. After estrus is diestrus and then anestrus, with the ovarian cycle regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. In the male spermatogenesis is controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis with testosterone playing a vital role. The reproductive cycle of most wild canids is similar to that of domestic dogs. Diestrus is followed by an extended period of ovarian inactivity. The causes of breeding failure in dogs are numerous and require thorough investigations for accurate diagnosis. Breeding failures can be infectious or non-infectious. Among the infectious causes in the bitch, bacterial endometritis was found to be responsible for the majority of reported cases. Non-infectious causes include primary and secondary anoestrus, cystic conditions of the uterus, and degenerative diseases of the endometrium. In the male, the causes can also be infectious and non-infectious. Non-infectious causes like bilateral cryptorchidism and acquired anatomical abnormalities can also cause male infertility. Spermatocele or sperm granulomas, obstruction of the genital ducts or inguinal or scrotal hernia, and prostatitis lead to infertility. Infections can lead to orchitis/epididymitis, with alteration of the quality of the semen. Nutrition also has important implications for reproductive performance. Undernutrition can result in loss of body condition, delay the onset of puberty, and ultimately lead to infertility.
