The global burden of diabetes is becoming alarming; this has been aggravated by the change in lifestyle patterns which has encouraged the high prevalence of diabetes noticed today. The oil and gas company workers over the years have been predicted to have an increased prevalence of diabetes which has been attributed to the affluence of this population. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of diabetes and its associated factors among oil and gas company workers in Port Harcourt. The present study aim was to determine the prevalence of diabetes and its associated factors among oil and gas company workers in Port Harcourt. The study was carried out using a descriptive cross-sectional study and data’s were collected using a questionnaire. A total of 376 questionnaires were administered and 318 questionnaires were retrieved from three oil and gas companies in Port Harcourt. Majority (51.9%) of the workers were above 40years of age. (72.01%) were married and Christianity (94.03%) was the main form of religion as recorded in the study. The study revealed that (56.1%) of the workers have poor dietary habit as against (43.9%) that have good dietary habit. The mean BMI of the workers (26.5) shows that majority (40.9%) of the workers are overweight, which depicts the nutritional status of the workers. The overall prevalence of diabetes in this study is (19.8%) and of all the risk factors predicted to be associated with the occurrence of diabetes, only women who have given birth to babies weighing more than 4kg at birth showed an association with an adjusted odd ratio of 4.79(1.34-17.11) 0.016. Therefore, there is a significant association between women who have given birth to babies weighing more than 4kg at birth and the occurrence of diabetes. Management of the oil companies, through the health education department should encourage exercise and diabetes management education to curtail the growing prevalence of diabetes.

Accounting for human resources is a relatively recent field. The organization may gain a direct or indirect advantage from the accountant's labor. In order to give users of financial information the ability to make rational, global decisions, accounting is the process of recognizing, quantifying, classifying, and reporting financial data. A company's HRA demonstrates the commitment it makes to its employees and the evolution of their values throughout time. Accounting for human resources gives management accounting more significance and aids in determining the capital worth of human resources and management development. About the value of a human asset, HRA offers quantifiable information. The current study's goals are to outline the function of accounting in HRM and identify coauthors whose works have received more than 500 citations in the field. The goal of the current study is to look up studies on the function of accounting in human resource management in the literature database. Research articles and their co-authors have been chosen based on inclusion and exclusion criteria in order to meet the research purpose. Lastly, VosViewer has been used to present the chosen research publications authored by coauthors that received more than 500 citations.

In principle, the Narcotics Law provides a legal loophole for law enforcers, especially judges, in imposing criminal sanctions, not only prison, but can also provide sanctions in the form of rehabilitation. This is in accordance with the provisions of Articles 126 and 127 of the Narcotics Law that those who abuse narcotics themselves can be given rehabilitation sanctions, both medical and social rehabilitation. The fact is that currently, when deciding narcotics cases against self-abusers, judges do not use Article 127, so many perpetrators are given prison sentences. In providing rehabilitation sanctions, it cannot be separated from the assessment carried out by the Integrated Assessment Team (TAT), however, to carry out this assessment requires quite large costs which must be paid by the state and some are also paid by the perpetrator. Thus, synergy must be built between the institutions involved in implementing rehabilitation, namely APH, the Health Service and the Social Service in ensuring the implementation of rehabilitation. So there must be a judge's decision which is used as jurisprudence against narcotics abusers who themselves must carry out social rehabilitation and medical rehabilitation.

The study was conducted to evaluate the experimental and theoretical shear strength of a simply supported reinforced concrete beam with and without shear reinforcement in accordance with Eurocode 2 design criteria. Fifteen (15) reinforced concrete beams of dimension 750mm x 150mm x 150mm reinforced with diameter 12mm size bars were cast at various reinforcement ratios (i.e. 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, and 3.0%), while preliminary and mechanical tests were conducted on the materials (i.e. cement, fine and coarse aggregate, and reinforcement bars) in accordance with relevant codes and standards. The outcome from the findings showed that the cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate used to cast the reinforced concrete beam were well graded and satisfies the requirement of code specification. More results showed that the average diameter of the reinforcement bars are 11.67mm, the mean tensile and ultimate strength of the reinforcement bars are 389.73N/mm2 and 640.80N/mm2 respectively, while the mean reinforcement steel elongation is 14.23% which mostly met code requirement indicating suitability of the reinforcement bars usage in concrete. Furthermore, the result from the findings showed that the Eurocode 2 (EC2) design criteria of beams without shear reinforcement were lower than the experimental value, while EC2 design criteria for beams with shear reinforcement was close to the experimental value.

Background: In Saudi Arabia as well as globally, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Early diagnosis can lead to a better prognosis, and mammography screening may be an adequate way to get there. Studies on breast cancer and mammography awareness have been conducted in Saudi Arabia. Objectives: The current study set out to assess Saudi Arabian female patients' knowledge, attitudes, and awareness regarding breast cancer and mammography screening. Methods: A thorough search was carried out in October 2023, mostly using PubMed, in compliance with PRISMA criteria. The search was limited to English-language research that looked at the relationship between mammograms and breast cancer. To guarantee the quality and applicability of the evaluated research, certain inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed. Results: A wide spectrum of research from various Saudi Arabian locations was included in the study, with a major focus on female individuals. A discernible pattern indicated a high proportion of individuals with breast cancer and mammography screening. Our study concludes that Saudi women know very little about breast cancer and mmammography in general. Interventions must be put into place in order to combat this ignorance.

Artificial nutrition therapy is recognized as a key aspect in the management of critically sick patients, but there is still debate about the appropriate route and timing, particularly in the acute phase. It is a convenient, effective, safe, and well-tolerated method of clinical nutrition in the hospital and at home. When appropriate oral diet fails to supply the body with the required nutrients. EN is normally delivered by a nasogastric technique, whereas PN is usually administered through a central venous access, directly into the bloodstream. The injected nutrients can then be immediately absorbed by the various organs. Early mixed enteral nutrition (EN) and parenteral nutrition (PN) may be an appealing alternative in certain critically sick patients to meet recommended calorie and protein targets. PN is related with potentially serious or even deadly consequences when handled and administered incorrectly. Patient observation and treatment regimen adaptation are required.

In this third part, we present the English translation of the text ‘Bachofen and Nietzsche’, written by the philosopher Alfred Baeumler. Baeumler's text explores the relationship between Friedrich Nietzsche and Johann Jakob Bachofen, two influential figures in the fields of philosophy, anthropology, and history. Baeumler argues that Nietzsche's philosophy was deeply influenced by Bachofen's ideas on matriarchy, Antiquity, and the feminine. Baeumler suggests that Nietzsche's concept of the Dionysian was inspired by Bachofen's theory of the chthonic and the matriarchal. Baeumler also argues that Bachofen's ideas on matriarchy and the feminine challenged the traditional patriarchal order of Western civilization, and that Nietzsche's philosophy continued this challenge by advocating for a new, life-affirming culture based on the principles of the Dionysian. Finally, Baeumler suggests that Nietzsche's philosophy can be seen as a critical response to Bachofen's romanticism, and that it offers a more nuanced and complex understanding of the relationship between the past and the present.

This study aims at discussing how devolved governance system has an economic impact to rural counties in Kenya with Kakamega rural county as the case study. The Devolution is one of the most transformative changes to Kenya’s governance system brought about by the Kenya Constitution, 2010. Article 174 of the Constitution provides that one of the key objectives of devolution is to promote social and economic development and provide proximate, easily accessible services throughout Kenya. Many rural Counties including Kakamega County faced with a myriad of challenges such as poverty, unemployment, disease, low agricultural productivity among others. Kakamega County through its short, medium and long term plans came up with an Integrated Development Plan (CIDP). The CIDP helps the county in identification of the projects and programmes through various consultative forums at the sub-county level vide Focused Ward Groups, community dialogues, County Stakeholders, such as the County Budget and Economic Forum, Kenya National Chamber of Commerce, Public Benefit Organizations such as GROOTS Kenya, ADS, and International development partners such as UNICEF, UNDP and USAID. Kakamega county has achieved much in terms of developments in various sectors such as education, health, infrastructure and urbanization. This study contributes in highlighting how devolved governance system has a positive impact to rural areas in kenya. The study provides crucial insights on devolution as a tool to economic development changes in rural Kenya especially in Kakamega County.

This study examined managing school plant planning for climate change in the attainment of sustainable educational development for public secondary schools in Rivers State. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The descriptive design was adopted. The population of the study comprised all the 542 public junior and senior secondary schools in Rivers State. A sample of 304 principals representing 56% of the population served as the study respondents. This sample was selected using the stratified random sampling technique. A validated Likert-modified 4-scale 16 item instrument titled: ‘Managing School Plant Planning for Climate Change in Public Secondary Schools Questionnaire (MSPPCCPSSQ)’ was used for data collection and its reliability coefficient was established at 0.82 using the Cronbach Alpha Correlation coefficient. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the research questions while the z-test statistics was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of this study revealed that discouraging deforestation while encouraging afforestation where trees acting as wind breakers are planted; communicating effectively with students by promoting students’ engagements by means of enlightening students on the importance of respecting green spaces such as school gardens, parks are some of the ways of managing school plant planning for climate change in the attainment of sustainable educational development in public secondary schools in Rivers State, Nigeria. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended that Rivers State government should endeavor to champion the course of initiating proactive ways and policies in managing school plant planning for public secondary schools aimed at curbing the negative effects of climate change in Rivers State.

The study investigated the effect of item order on the reliability of mathematics test among secondary school students in Rivers State. One research question and one null hypothesis guided the study. Quasi – experimental research design was used and the study was carried out in nine public senior secondary schools in three local government areas in River State which was drawn using Simple Random Sampling Technique. A sample size of 507 students were drawn from the population of 904 through Stratified Random Sampling Technique and the application of Taro Yemen formula to determine the minimum sample size. The instrument used was Multiple Choice Format Mathematics Performance Test (MCFMPT) arranged in ascending, descending and inconsistent order of difficulty and students’ scores were used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was 0.75 using split-half method of establishing reliability and Spearman Brown prophecy formula for internal consistency of the instrument. Mean and Standard deviation were used to answer research question while t-test and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The results revealed that item order based of ascending, descending and inconsistent order do not have significant effect on the reliability of mathematics test among secondary school students. Based on the findings, it was recommended that all pattern of item order (ascending, descending and inconsistent order of difficulty) should be encouraged among secondary school students as it has no significant effect on reliability coefficient. Students should be motivated to improve their real abilities in mathematics related courses and not judging their underperformance in mathematics based on the arrangement of items.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) widely grown in Pakistan during winter season. Aphid is one of the biological factors that inhibits seed germination and plant development. Methyl jasmonate is a plant growth regulator known to take part in defense responses against different types of stresses including Aphid attack. The current study was conducted to improve the growth of the wheat by the foliar application of Methyl jasmonate. Two wheat varieties (Shafaq and Gold) were be sown in plastic pots filled with 6 kg soil in each pot. After germination, wheat plants were treated with different Aphids. After three weeks of treatment data about survival percentage, root attributes, shoot attributes and nutrient analysis was be recorded using standard procedure. The experiment was be conducted under a complete randomized design (CRD) with three replicates and results was be deducted after statistical analysis. Different concentrations of methyl jasmonate (100 micromolar and 1mM) were applied to 20 days old wheat plant. Rhopalosiphum padi was allowed to infest the methyl jasmonate treated plants as well as non-treated plants. Control plants were covered with net and no concentration of methyl jasmonate were applied. Aphids were allowed to infest the plant for 48 hours, after that the plant from all treatments were sampled for all physiological studies. Methyl jasmonate treated plants as well as control plants were used for direct aphid population count after every week. Concluded results depicted that plants exposed to different concentrations of methyl jasmonate affected the root and shoot length, plant height which was further improved through MeJA supplementation.

Plexiform fibromyxoma (PFM) is a rare gastrointestinal tumor, primarily found in the stomach. Esophageal PFM is exceptionally rare. We describe a case of a mid-20s woman with respiratory and swallowing difficulties, revealing a 105x65 mm upper thoracic esophageal submucosal tumor during endoscopy. Biopsy lacked histological evidence of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Post-tumor removal histopathology showed a spindle tumor with plexiform architecture and myxoid-vascular stroma. Immunohistochemistry revealed vimentin and alpha-smooth muscle actin expression, while desmin, c-kit, DOG1, and CD34 were absent, confirming PFM. No recurrence or metastasis appeared during a 6-month follow-up. This case underscores the extreme rarity of esophageal PFM, emphasizing the need for precise diagnostic tools to navigate challenging differential diagnosis.

Previously, English major learning research and curriculum design were usually based on the perspective of teachers and educators, which were adjusted from top to bottom under the social needs. Although it is in view of social needs, it inevitably lacks the demands of English majors themselves. This research shifts the perspective to English majors, surveying the curriculum design from the perspective of English majors, collecting their career plans and demands through questionnaires, and using SPSS (Statistic Package for Social Science) to integrate and analyze the data, so as to take advantage of learners’ ideas to promote educational innovation. Different from the traditional top-down training scheme planning of discipline designers, it will be conducive to adding more practical effects to discipline design from bottom to top by exploring learners' cognitive degree of three factors— "New Liberal Arts", "English Major" and "Talent Training".
