This study was designed to investigate the levels of blood glucose and hemoglobin among malaria infected students in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nnewi, Anambra State, Southeast Nigeria. A total of 100 participants (75 malaria infected and 25 control subjects) aged between 18 and 30 years were randomly recruited for the study. Thereafter, 5mls of blood sample each was collected from the subjects and dispensed in unit quantity into fluoride oxalate and EDTA bottles respectively for the determination of malaria parasites, hemoglobin (Hb) and fasting blood glucose levels respectively using standard laboratory methods. The results revealed no significant difference in the mean fasting blood glucose level (p>0.05), but there was a significant decrease in the mean hemoglobin level in malaria infected students than in control (p=0.000) respectively. Also, there was no significant difference in the mean values of fasting blood glucose level obtained between students with heavy malaria infection and those with moderate malaria parasitemia (p>0.05), while the mean hemoglobin level observed in the students with heavy malaria parasitemia was significantly lower compared with students with moderate malaria parasitemia (p=0.000). The implication of this finding is that malaria infection depletes the hemoglobin level in infected persons, thus predisposing them to the risk of anaemia

The current wave of unrest among secondary schools students in Kenya is an indication of a serious problem in schools related to juvenile delinquency behaviours. For over two decades, this has been undermining the adolescents’ achievement and development. In this regard, juvenile delinquent behaviours have far reaching consequences; hence the present study sought to explore into the relationship between students’ indulgence in various delinquency behaviours and their academic achievement in Mumias sub-county, Kakemega County, Kenya. Specific objective for the study was to determine the elements of delinquent behaviours among secondary students. The study adopts Jessor's Problem Behaviour Theory (PBT) and ex post facto research design to explain the various study variables. The target population of this study was 54 secondary school deputy principals, 54 guidance and counselling teachers, 218 class teachers, 7548 form two and three students. The sample of the study consisted of 47 secondary school deputy principals, 47 guidance and counselling teachers, 139 class teachers and 365 form two and three students. Data was collected using questionnaire, observation schedules, interview schedules and document analysis.

This article describes the reconciliation between copyright law and library services. On the face of it, libraries and copyright protection seem to be located at cross-purposes. One seeks to freely disseminate literature, and the other seeks to preserve the exclusivity of the same. However, looking deeper, one can find a basis for reconciliation of the two in that copyright law is aimed at preventing the unfair use of and unlawful gain from another's literature or other creative work, while libraries aim at distributing knowledge from this literature and other creative works. The copyright act makes a sound balancing of the competing interest of the author on the one side and user on the other hand by recognizing library use as a privileged user right while upholding the moral and economic rights of the author. An attempt is made in this paper to examine the nature, extent and scope of this privileged use especially with a comparative analysis of the similar provisions in various national legislations. It’s really interesting that inspite of a series of technological developments and changed perceptions of public interest the legal provision stands as it is without any amendments for the last five decades. So it is right time to look into the efficacy of this legal provision in the context of changed public interest and technological challenges. Suggesting a viable mechanism keeping into account of the fragile social and economic needs of the country is the final aim of this analysis.

This study aims to improve student motivation and learning outcomes by utilizing the Traditional Gorontalo Bilu-bilulu game in learning Social Sciences (IPS). This research was conducted in the fifth grade of Gorontalo State University Laboratory Elementary School and was motivated by the condition of students who showed less student learning motivation and many learning outcomes were below the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) because teachers often used the lecture method which tended to be monotonous and not used the game traditionsoanal Gorontalo Bilu-bilulu. This study uses Classroom Action Research methods with stages of planning, implementation, observation, analysis and reflection. The assessment used in this study is a test technique to determine student learning outcomes, assessment of student learning motivation through questionnaires and observation sheets to determine the activities of teachers and students during the learning process. The results of the study indicate an increase in the assessment of student motivation and learning outcomes. In the assessment of student learning outcomes cycle I completeness 45% with an average value of 74.50 while in cycle II completeness reached 80% with an average value of 83. This shows that the use of traditional Gorontalo Bilu-bilulu games can increase motivation and learning outcomes students in social studies learning.

Abstract: Due to active involvement of fetal system in regulation of amniotic fluid volume it has been identified as an indicator of intrauterine fetal status. USG has revolutionized the process of assessment of amniotic fluid thus becoming an integral part of fetal surveillance. Polyhydramnios is an obstetrical condition associated with significant perinatal morbidity and mortality. In a low resource health facility as India with poor coverage of antenatal care and malnutrition it still becomes more important to screen pregnancies for such high risk factors. The objectives of the present study were: 1. To determine the incidence of polyhydramnios by ultrasonography. 2. To evaluate its relationship with neonatal outcome. A hospital based prospective study for duration of one year. All the patients identified as having polyhydramnios according to Largest pocket diameter method. The incidence of polyhydramnios in singleton pregnancy during the study period was 1.04 %. Majority of cases (76.61%) were mild, 14.03% moderate and 9.36 % severe polyhydramnios. Congenital anomalies were present in 34 (19.88%) fetus. The commonest malformations were central nervous system 17 cases (9.94%), gastrointestinal system anomalies 9 (5.3%) and musculoskeletal 7 cases (4.1%). Anencephaly was the commonest CNS malformations. Significant association existed between severity of polyhydramnios and chances of fetus having congenital anomaly. Other fetal complications include VLBW 4.09%, macrosomia 1.75%, SGA babies 8.77%, LGA babies 9.94%, still birth 7.59%, NICU admission 20.47% , Perinatal death 16.96% and early neonatal death 9.36%. The study gives us the understanding of the impact of polyhydramnios on the fetal outcome. Our study demonstrates that careful fetal examination has to be performed when polyhydramnios is diagnosed, as congenital malformations are often associated with this condition. These anomalies if detected early timely termination of pregnancy can be done hence less physical and psychological trauma to mother.

The acceptance of antenatal care (ANC) is generally poor and inadequate in many developing countries such as Sudan. The study was aimed to evaluate the attitudes of pregnant women towards antenatal care. Methodology: Quasi-experimental study one group, conducted among 150 pregnant women attending ANC, in Al-Hawata area. Their age ranged between (15 – 49) years, in first and second trimester. The data collected by using self-administered questionnaires for literate subjects and interviewer administered for illiterate. Statistically analyzed used statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20. Finding: It was found that almost the variables such as education, number of antenatal visits, diet requirement during pregnancy has significant association with women's education, P Value =0.0001. Also the result of this study showed that there was (84 %) of study group changed to positive attitude post intervention with mean score 45.71 to 74.54. From the findings of the study periodic health education for pregnant women to raise awareness on antenatal care and minimize unhealthy cultural practices is recommended.

The current study presents a case of iatrogenic mid-root perforation with a maxillary central incisor in a 59 -year-old female patient, with a history of trauma in that region. Perforations that occur in the mid-root region pose a challenge to the dentist due to inadequate access to the perforation site. Perforations also increase the chance of inflammatory reaction in the periodontal ligament. A concept for the repair of root perforations is presented using a resorbable collagen matrix which reconstructs the outer shape of the root and facilitates the adaptation of MTA. The current clinical case shows successful root perforation repair with follow up using aforementioned technique.

This paper argues that in 2007, the Chinese A-share market held a significant change in its entire progressing process. The interest rate shock in late May 2001 may be a noteworthy event causing the trend change. The paper aims to test for the trend change in real estate stock prices. Two leading listed real estate stocks were employed. Monthly series spanned the period from 1998M012014M12. Unit root, break-date and cointegration tests were conducted. Both the Perron test (in a mixed IO Model C) and the Zivot-Andrews test (Model C) were performed. A long-run memory of real estate share markets was suggested. Breakpoints occurred in March 2007. Long-run equilibrium did not exist between the stock prices. Real estate shares responded fast and independently to the interest rate shock in 2007. The interest rate shock may result in a trend change in real estate stock prices

Language teachers in India continue to struggle with effective development and successful implementation of a task-based lesson. The current paper presents a template for teachers to frame and execute language tasks to achieve desired outcomes. The paper begins with a brief discussion of tasks, and then follows a discussion on three-tier task-based learning framework, model and lesson. A teaching unit/ sample lesson is also included to illustrate the method. The sample lesson presented was developed for elementary stage students studying in schools of India. The developed plan focused on vocabulary and structures needed to make reservations in different paid establishments. Any task-based lesson primarily includes pedagogical tasks that mirror the real-world tasks. Owing to its usability outside the boundaries of the classroom, a task-based lesson becomes more meaningful and apropos to students. Such basic lesson can be used as a model to teach relevant vocabulary and sentence structures pertaining to other real world tasks including talking about clothes and fashion, calling customer care for help, other telephonic conversations etc.
