The objective of the study was to evaluate the aphrodisiac property of the aqueous extract of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer rhizomes (Zngiberaceae) in albino and normal male rats of the Wistar strain. Colorimetric and precipitation methods were used to highlight secondary metabolites of the plant. The acute toxicity test was conducted according to OCDE guideline 423. Four lots of 6 animals were used to evaluate the aphrodisiac property of P. africana. The positive control received sildenafil citrate (5 mg/Kg) and the negative control, distilled water. The test lots received the extract at 500 and 2000 mg/Kg for 8 days. The copulatory parameters were observed on days 1, 4 and 8. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of ginsenosids, alkaloids, tannins, saponosides and tri terpenes in the extract. No changes in the general appearance of the rats and no mortality were recorded during the toxicity test, highlighting that P. africana is non-toxic. The extract significantly increased the sex parameters of the tested rats. This aphrodisiac effect of P. africana attributed to identify secondary metabolites justifies its use in traditional medicine as a sexual stimulant.

This study dealt with the relationship between school feeding program and pupil`s attendance in primary schools in Moshi rural District, which guided by reinforcement theory proposed by Skinner. The study used correlational research design. 5 primary schools were used for the study with 5 teachers from each school, and 15 pupils from each sampled school. Probability sampling was utilized to select respondents‟ questionnaire were the main tools for data collection. The data analysis used percentage and frequency to describe and summarize the research variables. The study concluded that the provision of school feeding program does not provide balance diet to pupils since the food provided do not contained five types of food, school feeding program influenced pupils enrollment and attendance at large number which accelerated performance in primary schools, school feeding program influenced pupils performance at high level, the implementation of school feeding program facing challenges such as lack government support, poor parent contribution and the issue of free education. The recommendations which can be made were community and parents should be given education on the importance of school feeding program in primary schools, the community should be involved on contribution of school feeding program, the government should elaborate the issue of free education.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of the aqueous extract of Arthrospira platensis var. Lake Chad, also call spirulina.

Examination malpractice or academic dishonesty has become a concern to education stakeholders the issue of examination malpractice is a national emergency. This study sought to examine institutional dynamics that contributes to examination malpractice in public universities. Kenya. Descriptive research design was used. Simple random sampling techniques were used in choosing the sample size. The target population for the study was the student counselors and third year students from the school of Education. The research instruments used to collect data were questionnaires and interview schedules. The analysis of data was done using both qualitative and quantitative. It was found out that that lack of accommodation facilities contribute significantly to examination malpractices as most students travel long distances to and from the university campus instead of revising or studying in the library leading to little time left for studies. It was therefore recommended that there is need for the institution to provide accommodation facilities, the findings and recommendations from this study will go a long way in helping the university senates to review university examination policy in Kenya and come up with appropriate strategies to fight institutional factors that contribute to examination malpractices in universities in Kenya

Abstract: Education as a means of achieving economic development has become a respectable and challenging subject for scholarly research and analysis. Most studies indicate that many children are growing up without proper guidance from their parents. The parents/ guardians are largely absent and housemaids, the media and peers have become the main socialization agents of most children today. This study established the part guardians and parents play in addressing students’ discipline problems in public day secondary schools in Nakuru sub County, Nakuru County, Kenya. Nakuru East sub-County has 31 public day secondary schools, 18,600 students, 31 principals, and 806 teachers. Sixteen schools were randomly selected for the study. Data was collected from 80 parents, 50 students, and 24 teachers who were selected randomly from the 16 schools using questionnaires. Eight principals were also interviewed. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics while qualitative data was analyzed using the thematic technique. Result found that stealing/ theft, skiving or truancy, and distraction in class were the most common forms of indiscipline in the schools. It was also found that there is little involvement of parent in addressing disciplinary issues. The study did arrive at a concrete verdict regarding the parenting styles of most parents/ guardians because different stakeholders have varying views. However, all stakeholders agreed that parenting style influences students’ discipline to a great extent. The study recommends that stakeholder particular teachers educate parents regarding parenting styles and their impact on student’s behavior. The study also recommends strengthening cooperation between teachers, students, principals, and parents so as to enhance discipline within the schools.

Evaluation of strategies in Kenya may be done either quantitatively or qualitatively. This is to ascertain whether the process of implementations will succeed in attaining the objectives or not.

The study used descriptive research design to get the information under investigation. The target population consisted of: 1 Sub county Education Officer (SCEO) and 31 Principals. The study used purposive sampling and simple random sampling. The research instruments used to collect data was questionnaires and Interview schedules. The findings of the study show that during the implementation of strategic plans school environment affect implementation of strategic plans through effective Institutional policies which reflect the picture of school needs, The Education policy makers would find this study useful in spearheading a campaign to foster a positive attitude among stakeholders who have the implementation dynamics of strategic plans in secondary schools, also to bring forth a practice where major players in schools adopt a willingness to work and bring changes in performance in all the departments in an institution to improve on strategic planning process.

Abstract: This paper is related to study the potential of orange peel on the removal of copper ions from simulated wastewater using different design parameters by adsorption technique. The operating parameters studied to adsorb copper ions using orange peel as an adsorbent material were initial concentration of copper, absorbance material packing height which was orange peel, pH of copper feed inlet solution, and treatment time, these parameters were varied from (1-100) mg/l, (10-50) cm, (1-8), and (1-60) min respectively. All experiments were carried out at constant feed flow rate (1 l/min) and constant temperature 25°C. Results show that the higher removal efficiency was 89.25 % for copper from aquatic solution and this efficiency was decreased with increasing of initial concentration and pH while the removal efficiency increased with increasing adsorbent material bed height and contact time. The residues of orange peels that loaded with copper ions were prepared to use it as a rodenticide by applying it on the laboratory rats and calculate the half lethal dose (LD50). The residues show a good ability to use it as a rodenticide and the LD50 calculated was in the same range mentioned in the literature. By this way, it can possess different benefits in the same time, which are remove the toxic copper ions from contaminated the water by highly efficiency, get rid of agricultural waste orange peel and finally prepare an active, cheap and simple rodenticide. So, it can discard more toxic waste in a coast and eco-friendly method accessing to Zero Residue Level (ZRL) concept.

Art elective course combinations offered in Senior High Schools hinder Art students from offering some Art program at the Tertiary level. The need therefore to assess Art and allied programs offered at the tertiary level. A mixed method approach involving qualitative and quantitative research strategies was adopted for the study. The study revealed that visual art students are limited in offering some courses at the tertiary institutions as most visual art students have no idea of the program they want to study in the tertiary level of education. The study, therefore recommends to stakeholders to ensure that orientations and seminars are conducted in pre-SHS and SHS to help students to choose relevant courses to be offered at the tertiary level.

Electrolyte abnormalities are common cause of morbidity and mortality in ICU patients. Quick and accurate results are required for immediate treatment. Conventionally these are measured in serum by electrolyte analyser but now point of care analysers are available to determine them in arterial blood by ABG. To measure electrolyte levels in venous and arterial samples and to evaluate the difference in them. The study was conducted in the department of biochemistry, GGS Medical College and Hospital, Faridkot. It was conducted on the total of 115 patients of either sex admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU). Arterial blood sample was collected for ABG and venous blood was processed in the electrolyte analyser. Results show that there is quite a difference between the mean values of these parameters in venous and arterial blood, with sodium having mean of 124.22 ± 9.18 in arterial blood and that of 137.09 ± 8.71 in venous blood. The mean value for potassium is 3.49 ± 1.28 in arterial blood and 4.21 ± 1.08 in venous blood. For chloride it is 108.54±9.9 in arterial blood and 101.77±7.2 in venous blood. The p values for all the parameters was <0.001. As we observed significant difference between electrolyte levels of venous blood done on electrolyte analyser and that of arterial blood done on ABG analyser so these cannot be used for in exchange for each other and so physicians should be cautious while reporting the results.

The study examined attitudes of secondary school teachers toward learner centered approach in Hanang‟ District. This study used self-determination theory and Meta cognition theory in theoretical review. The employed cross sectional survey research design. The target population included all secondary school teachers, students and academic masters in Hanang‟ District. The sample consisted 5 secondary schools, 20 teachers was sampled, 4 teachers from each sampled school, 60 students where 12 students and 1 academic teacher from each sampled school. This study used questionnaires as research instruments. Test-retest reliability method was used to calculate the coefficient of correlation by using Pearson product coefficient rule. The study concluded that teachers were not using learner centered method since they tend to use only group discussion method of learning which is not enough for teaching, learners were interested in learner-centered methods that allowed students were in class for discussion, debate, field trips and brainstorming while learner centered preferred by teachers were role play, drama, class discussion and brainstorming. The recommendations which can be made is the government should fund some learner centered methods such as field trips and projects, the Ministry of Education and vocational training through the school managers should encourage teachers to use the preferred learner centered methods which do not need the use of a lot of resources. And schools should provide and arrange activities in line with learner‟s interest.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, autoimmune, systemic disease, characterized by polyarthritis, erosive synovitis and sometimes shows multi system involvement. Oxidative damage induced by reactive species has been related to the pathophysiology of RA. The inflammation in the joints leads to joint damage and thus influences the quality of life in these patients. This work was undertaken to determine oxidative stress markers in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and to observe its correlation with inflammatory markers. Malondialdehyde (MAD) and Nitric oxide (NO) are estimated as the markers of oxidative stress and High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is measured as a marker of inflammation. A cross-sectional study in rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthy controls was done. We included 40 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 40 healthy controls. MDA, NO and hsCRP are measured in all the subjects. Statistical analyses were done using SPSS statistical software version 17.0. MDA, NO and hsCRP levels were increased in RA patients when compared to controls (p<0.001) and a positive correlation between the inflammatory marker and oxidative stress markers was also observed in these patients. The value of R is 0.7277 for MDA and hsCRP where as R value is 0.6153 for NO and hsCRP. The findings of present study support the concept of oxidative stress leading to tissue damage and inflammation. The positive correlation between inflammation and oxidative stress in these patients indicate the importance of correction of oxidative stress along with inflammation, further large and well controlled studies are needed to establish the role of anti oxidants in treatment protocols of RA patients.

To assess learning readiness skills on digit span paired and associate learning test among Government and Shantytown School Children. Sample consisted of 50 children: (n= 25) government school and (n= 25) was taken from shantytown school of Lahore with age range of 5 to 9 years. The subtests of Wechsler Memory Scale (Paired Associate Learning Test and Digit Span) were used to assess the learning readiness skills of children. The result of the findings indicates that there was significant difference between government and shantytown school children. Government school children perform better than the shantytown children. It should be necessary for parents to concentrate and improve basic skills of children and then got admission in school. When they have some exposure of basic skills then child can easily communicate and able to learn.
