This study was set to determine the digital competencies needed by teachers for utilizing mobile learning applications for effective lesson delivery in Technical Colleges in Aba Education Zone of Abia State. Two research questions guided the study in line with two hypotheses. The study adopted descriptive survey research design and was carried out in Aba, Abia State. The population for the study constitutes 43 Technical College Teachers (sampled purposively) and 55 IT Practitioners (obtained through preliminary survey). Data pertinent to the study were collected using a structured questionnaire developed by the researchers titled “Digital Competencies Needed for Utilizing Mobile Learning Applications Questionnaire (DCNUMLAQ)”. The questionnaire was validated by three research experts and the reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha which gave a reliability co-efficient result of 0.77. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while the null hypotheses were tested using t- test at .05 level of significance and appropriate degree of freedom. Some of the findings include that the ability to; provide students with task management tools to organize their work, exploit computer games for pedagogical purposes, create screen capture tutorials, being able to detect plagiarized works in students assignments are part of the digital skills needed by teachers for utilizing mobile learning applications for effective lesson delivery in technical colleges in Aba Education Zone. Based on the findings of the study, the recommendations made among others include that technical college teachers should be retrained for capacity development and adoption of trending technological skills into classroom teaching for enhanced learning outcome, and education administrators/policy makers should enact policies especially for on-time assessment of teachers’ capacity in the use of ICT for teaching in technical colleges for effective lesson delivery.

International result-oriented performance in sports requires systematic scientific training. A proper pedagogical approach is required for systematic loading of the athletes in order to record-breaking performance. The performance of an athlete largely depends upon a progressive training load for a relatively long period of time. The degree of mechanical tension, subcellular damage, and metabolic stress can all play a role in exercise-induced muscle adaptations. The process of adaptation largely depended upon the ratio of load and recovery stimulus. Thus the load dynamics and proper adaptation is reflected in the achievement of an athlete. The present research review-based article discussed systematically the procedure of training load, importance of recovery, and adaptation of load.

Scar pregnancy is a rare but serious form of ectopic pregnancy that is life-threatening and functional. Its actual incidence remains undetermined, but the increase in published cases over the past ten years testifies to the increased vigilance of obstetrician-gynecologists on ultrasound diagnosis, which remains the first-line examination. To date, there is no consensus on a reference treatment. We report our experience of a case of pregnancy on caesarean section scar in a 36-year-old patient treated in our department. The diagnosis was suspected in the presence of metrorrhagia associated with pelvic pain in the first trimester of pregnancy. Ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis and treatment consisted of surgical cure by laparotomy. The objective was to discuss the epidemiological, physiopathological, diagnostic aspects, the therapeutic and evolutionary modalities of this rare pathology.

This update reviewed the effects of VR complementary therapy in breast cancer patients regarding physical symptoms such as the common triad of pain, lymphedema and upper limb impairment following treatment. The results revealed weak but consistently positive, significant effect in physical symptoms. Findings, however, were limited by poor methodological quality, small sample sizes and low statistical power in studies. Future recommendations include better designed studies with large sample sizes and acceptable power to investigate the effects of VR interventions in women with breast cancer, during and after cancer treatment.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is an epithelial neoplasm arising from the malignant proliferation of keratinocytes and it is the second most common type of skin cancer behind basal cell carcinoma (BCC). SCC presents with a wide variety of clinical manifestations including erythematous patches and nodules although its most usual presentation includes indurated well demarcated ulcerative lesions. We present historical case of SCC of the scalp who made the extension and invasion the brain after eroding the vault.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the weakness of the role of the Notary Official of Land Deed Maker in determining the Sales Value of Tax Objects to increase current regional original income and reconstructing the role of the Notary/PPAT in determining the Sales Value of Tax Objects to increase regional original income based on the value of justice. The approach method used in this research is socio-legal, namely by conducting joint research between law and non-doctrinal institutions that are empirical/social in examining the legal rules that apply in society. This research is descriptive-analytical. The results of this study shows that the Weaknesses in the regulation of the determination of the sale value of tax objects to increase the current local revenue. Based on article 6 paragraph (3) of the Law on Customs for the Acquisition of Land and Building Rights, therefore, the Reconstruction of the regulation on the determination of the Sales Value of Tax Objects to increase regional original income based on the value of justice, namely that the Regional Head in determining the amount of the sale value of the tax object is obliged to establish it as instructed by Law The Law on Regional Taxes and Levies and Regional Regulations truly reflects the actual value, which is the selling value of tax objects based on the value of justice and by changing several related articles including Article 24 paragraph (1) of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2000 concerning Amendments to Law Number 21 of 1997 concerning Customs on Acquisition of Land and Building Rights and Article 79 paragraph (3) of Law Number 28 of 2009 concerning Regional Taxes and Regional Levies.

Streptococcus constellatus is a microorganism that lives commensally in the oropharyngeal region, urogenital region, and intestinal tract. However, it can cause infection in patients with certain predisposing factors. We present a rare case of a right-sided frontal abscess caused by Streptococcus constellatus in a 47-year-old male with well-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus patient who was injured by shrapnel pieces in the head and who was malnourished. The patient was successfully treated by surgical evacuation and antibiotherapy. Very few cases of brain abscesses caused by S. Constellatus have been reported in the literature. Only four cases in an immunocompetent patient have been reported to date.

DNA strands and their bases are in the cells in every creature. They essential for growth, metabolism regulation and carrying genetic information bases to new generations. The bases of DNA are working with 0 and 1 system. In this theoretical research, first, by using Gaussian program, NMR susceptibility of DNA bases and their C2Fe+ attached varieties are determined. In the next step, with effect of magnetic field (H) and NMR susceptibility of these compounds, their resulted Magnetization (M) is calculated. These resulted magnetizations not only can be considered as a method to make a new (0) and (1) system for DNA bases but also can be used as creating certain signals to mark of DNA bases and their compounds which are attached to C2Fe+.

Leprosy is an infectious disease that is brought on by the rod-shaped, acid-fast bacteria Mycobacterium leprae. The illness mostly affects the skin, eyes, peripheral nerves, and mucosa of the upper respiratory tract. Leprosy is curable, and prompt medical attention can help avoid disability. Multidrug therapy can be used to treat leprosy (MDT). Droplets from the lips and nose are prone to spread leprosy during frequent and intimate contact with untreated people. For the disease to be completely eradicated as a public health problem, early detection and treatment with multidrug therapy (MDT) are necessary. If leprosy is not treated, it can result in long-term harm to the skin, nerves, limbs, and eyes. There were 208 619 new leprosy cases worldwide in 2018, according to official data from 159 countries in six different WHO regions. Based on statistics, the prevalence rate is 0.2/10 000.

Hodgkin Lymphoma is rarely diagnosed as spinal cord compression syndrome. Caused by an epidural mass, this complication is often encountered in a late stage of the disease. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman presenting with symptoms of low thoracic spinal cord compression due to an epidural tumor on the MRI. Emergent surgery was undertaken on this patient, consisting in laminectomy and tumor resection. After surgery, pain relief and mild neurological improvement were noticed. The histological study revealed a Hodgkin Lymphoma and the patient was referred to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Though chemotherapy is the gold standard treatment for Hodgkin Lymphoma, surgical spinal decompression may be required in epidural involvement of the disease. Diagnosis may be suspected in the presence of lymphadenopathy and general health decay.

Objective: To compare the height, weight and BMI of Chinese children aged 2-4 years between urban and rural areas, and to provide some references for the study of early childhood health. Methods: A total of 1361 rural and urban children (721 boys, 640 girls) aged 2-4 years who met the criteria of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) in 2018 were selected as subjects, to analyze and compare the physical development of children in rural and urban areas. Results: The height of urban children aged 2-4 years was higher than that of rural children (p < 0.05), the weight of urban and rural children aged 2-4 years had no significant difference (p > 0.05), and the BMI of rural children aged 2-4 years was higher than that of urban children. Conclusions: The physical development of children in China is different between urban and rural areas, so we should pay attention to the problem of obesity in rural children.

Eclampsia is a serious obstetric complication that, especially in developing countries, is linked to high rates of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The study's goal is to assess the clinical characteristics of eclampsia, the maternal and perinatal outcomes and proffer suggestions for improvement. The cases of eclampsia managed at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) in Benin City, Nigeria, for over 5 years (from 2015 to 2019) were the subjects of the study. The medical records library, special care infant unit, labour ward, theatre, postnatal wards, and emergency room records were retrieved. SPSS version 23 was used to analyze the generated data. Eclampsia occurred in 16.7 out of every 1000 deliveries. The majority (66.9%) of eclampsia cases included women; between the ages of 20 and 35, who were unbooked (98.1%), and nulliparous (61.3%). 73.8 percent of the cases involved antepartum eclampsia, and 71.9 percent of deliveries were emergency caesareans. Eclampsia contributed to 31.7% of all maternal deaths, had a case fatality rate of 18.97%, and had a mother mortality ratio of 316/100,000 births. Eclamptic deliveries had a 149/1000 perinatal death rate. Pulmonary oedema, renal failure, HELLP syndrome, cerebrovascular accident, and disseminated intravascular were determinant factors in maternal mortality. Eclampsia remains a significant factor in maternal morbidity and mortality, particularly in resource-limited countries. Risk factors such as nulliparity and unbooked status were linked to increased prevalence. It also shows the need for early referral and timely management of the disease.

The activities of the terror group named “Boko haram” whom earlier joined alliance with the Islamic State of west African Province (ISWAP), has endangered the lives of many Nigerians and by large, the lives of many Africans, hence the heinous crimes perpetuated by the proscribed group has negatively affected the peaceful coexistence of the people of Niger republic, Mali, Chad, Cameroun Central African republic, and of recent the people of Burkina Faso. This paper investigated the pitiful state and agony of the families that lost their members due to such terror activities in Gwoza, Borno state, which was once the headquarters of the boko haram insurgents. The researchers utilised qualitative method to arrive at their results, using face-to-face interview and focus group discussion (FGD). Participants were sampled through purposive sampling method. The results revealed that so many families has lost their bread winners which forced them to the street finding food and shelter, while others remain in the refugees camp. The paper posits that the federal government and other relevant agencies local and international should endeavour to create an avenue to find out the missing persons, and take care of the families wandering on the street.

The study investigates effect of organisational reward system on employee performance in selected hotels in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria. The objective was to establish effect of organisational reward system (Recognition, Employee Development, and Benefits) on employee performance (contextual performance, counterproductive behaviour, and adaptive behaviour) in selected hotels in Lagos Metropolis using a survey research design. Two hotels were sampled and used for the study. A total population of 315 employees were investigated with a sample size of 255. In this research, a simple random sampling technique was adopted, and only 204 copies (or 80 percent) of the questionnaire were properly completed and recovered. To determine the link between the variables, the data was examined using the bivariate regression analysis. The investigation revealed that recognition had significant effect on contextual performance in selected hotels in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria (β = 0.592, t = 12.353, p < 0.05). The finding also revealed that eemployees’ development has a negative and significant effect on counterproductive behaviour in selected hotels in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria (β = -0.244, t = 6.441, p < 0.05). Also, it was discovered that benefits had significant effect on adaptive performance in selected hotels in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria (β = 0.399, t = 9.339, p < 0.05). As a result, it was concluded that organisational reward system affected employee performance in selected hotels in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria. It was suggested, among other things, that hotel management should be intentionally observing employee performance and looking for opportunities to recognize outstanding work achievements and behaviour.

The study arose from the fact that, high school principals are working hard yet the academic performance of public secondary schools in Kisumu County has remained generally poor. Between 2014 and 2018, only 26.9% of students from Kisumu County scored at least C+, and the average mean score in KCSE for the period was only 4.23, below 7.0, the entry marks. At least 65% of the KCSE candidates from Kisumu County did not proceed to university education during the period. Several educational stakeholders had linked school leadership to poor academic performance, but without empirical evidence. The study specifically investigated the influence of Principals’ building collaborative cultures on academic performance of secondary schools in Kisumu County. The study adopted a survey research design. The target population consisted of 204 principals, 2,196 teachers, and 13,213 Form Three students. In sampling, Krejcie and Morgan table was used to find 152 principals, 333 teachers and 378 students, from 152 schools. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, observation and document analysis, and analyzed using simple linear, simple correlation, and stepwise regression with dummy variables, at a.05 level of significance. The study tested a specific hypothesis that Principals’ building collaborative cultures has a significant influence on academic performance of secondary schools in Kisumu County. Building collaborative cultures (good) [F (2,149) = 2.818, p = .009, R2adj = .024, t (149) = 2.362 p = .018] has significant influence on academic performance of secondary schools in Kisumu county. The study recommends that the ministry of education should empower principals with resources that will enable them to empower their teaching staff by training them on various needs that may arise in the society from time to time, and since the society is dynamic continuous provision of resources by the ministry would be ideal.
