The research concerns the formation of new identity models and value orientations under the influence of digital technologies. This article distinguishes two fields of digital technology use: organization of everyday life and formation of digital identity. Moreover, the object of the research is the formation of digital identity. Based on the content analysis of social networks, two models of digital identity are differentiated: positive and negative digital “Selves”, which compose a transformable digital identity. A point of view is put forward that under the influence of the above-mentioned analysis, new value orientations are formed, which are not universal, but transformable.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous symbionts that colonize approximately 80% of wild and cultivated plants, with the exception of a few botanical families such as Amarantaceae, Brassicaceae, Cyperaceae, and Chenopodiaceae, which mycorrhizae less or not at all. These symbioses are important because they improve the hydro-mineral nutrition of plants. During a succession of crops on a plot, it is possible to observe the diversity of AMF in the soil; this work fits into this framework. The experiment was carried out in pots in a completely randomized block design with 5 crops, including rice-beans-amaranth-okra-eggplant, repeated 5 times. The temporal dynamics of AMF were assessed during crop succession on the same soil. The results show a high species richness for rice, with 23 AMF species compared to 9 AMF species found on amaranth. Spore density and root colonization frequency show the same trend, respectively 5 to 38 spores per 100 g soil for rice compared to 3 to 10 spores per 100 g soil for amaranth. The colonization frequency ranged from 79 to 80% in rice and bean, while amaranth was only colonized to 13%. The introduction of amaranth during crop succession contributes to a decrease in species richness, spore density and AMF colonization frequency, in contrast to other crops.

Despite the fact that the World Health Organization (WHO) had provided an average global reference data of Coagulation Properties (CP) of blood in the world, available statistics still suggest a significant discrepancy in CPs of blood among various age groups, socioeconomic classes and races in different locations of the world. Here in Port Harcourt Nigeria, absence of such local reference data had continued to pose over-reliance on the WHO global standards without recourse to our distinctive geospatial and socioeconomic peculiarities. As a result, this study therefore investigated coagulation properties of blood in healthy university students in Port Harcourt. A total of 157 participants were recruited into the study using Stratified Random Sampling techniques. They were administered well-structured questionnaires for an on-the-spot data collections. Thereafter, 5ml of venous blood were aspirated for various coagulation properties (Bleeding, clotting and Prothrombin times and Platelets Counts) investigation. Clotting and bleeding times were measured instantly using capillary and Ivy’s methods respectively. Results from the study revealed a significant (ρ≤0.05) coagulation difference between the WHO standards and both gender (male, 311032 ± 17300* and female, 293600 ± 12800*) for platelets counts. In the age groups, only ≥40 group were significant to all CP (10.30 ± 0.00* for BT, 10.00 ± 1.30* for CT, 10.22 ± 2.88* for PT and 190320.73 ± 1886.45* for PC). Similar significant result was also noted for Obese Class 2, morbid obesity and protein diet groups as compared with the Control. This study therefore concluded that CP significantly vary with the WHO standards, age, gender, BMI and nutritional background and recommended similar study be conducted in other locations in Nigeria and Africa.

In today's fast-paced corporate landscape, characterized by ever-increasing expectations for productivity and performance, work-related stress has emerged as a pressing concern, particularly among C-level executives. Recognizing the pivotal role that top-tier leadership plays in shaping organizational culture and fostering a healthy work environment, addressing this issue has become of paramount importance. This report aims to offer a comprehensive perspective on this critical matter, shedding light on the outcomes of a survey conducted among 150 C-level executives hailing from various organizations. The primary objective of this survey was to gain valuable insights into the far-reaching effects of work-related stress on employee productivity, while also evaluating the effectiveness of organizations in managing and alleviating this prevalent challenge. Within the pages of this report, we delve into the world of C-suite executives, seeking to unearth their perspectives on work-related stress, its profound impact on workforce productivity, and the innovative strategies they employ to navigate this intricate and sensitive issue within their respective organizations. Furthermore, the survey takes a closer look at the pivotal role that leadership plays in addressing employee well-being and productivity. It also examines the influence of communication channels and cutting-edge technology in shaping the future of work and fostering an environment where employee well-being and organizational success coexist harmoniously.
