Assessing Students’ Awareness, Attitude, and Practices on Solid Waste Management in a Philippine Catholic School

This descriptive-correlational study assessed the level of awareness, degree of attitude, and extent of practice on solid waste management (SWM) of high school students of a Diocesan Catholic School. The data were collected using a researcher-made instrument and analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, and Pearson r. The findings of the study unveiled that students exhibited a high level of awareness, a very positive attitude, and a great extent of practice on SWM regardless of sex and academic level. Also, a significant relationship was found between awareness and practice and sex and academic level of students. Meanwhile, no relationship was found between attitude and sex and academic level. In addition, awareness, attitude, and practice on SWM were correlates. Finally, it indicated that awareness and attitude significantly predict the practice of SWM. It further provided baseline information in designing a comprehensive and effective SWM program to mitigate the problem of solid waste in the school.
Effect of stage of lactation on somatic cell count in sheep milk of Pleven Blackhead breed

Milk secretion in small ruminants present some particularities for cytoplasmatic particles which are shed in the milk together with leukocytes and epithelial cells. Therefore, a parameter like a somatic cell count is worldwide used as a measurement indicator of subclinical mastitis. The aim of the present study was to establish the change of chemical and microbiological characteristics on the composition of sheep milk, obtained from Pleven Blackhead sheep breed during different stages of lactation. It was established that the chemical characteristics of sheep milk varied widely according to the way animals were raised and fed. The obtained results described a slight increase in the values of the total concentration of minerals (up to 1%) and titratable acidity from 19 to 25°T. A decrease in the values of total solids (19.2-16.6%), milk fat (8.06.2%), and protein content (5.8-4.9%) during the stages of lactation was established. The microbiological analysis showed that somatic cell count and total bacterial count during lactation progressively decreased, probably due to the account the hygienic conditions, nutrition, environment and health status of the animals. Moreover, changes in the composition of sheep milk were directly dependent on stable, stable/pasture and pasture feeding system during lactation period.
Family Bargaining Powers, Education and Fertility Decisions, and Policy

Women are widely recognized as more strongly preferring to rear children than men are. Lundberg et al. (1997) and Attanasio and Lechene (2002), as a result of their “experiments,” report positive effects of women’s income share on family expenditures for children’s clothing and food. Such a perception has also been reflected in theoretical studies as a higher utility weight on the welfare of their children (e.g., Doepke and Tertilt 2009; Yakita 2018). By contrast, whether the preference for the number of children is stronger for women or not is not clear. The OECD Family Database reports that the average personal ideal numbers of children for women and men aged 15―64 in OECD 22 countries in Europe and some other countries were 2.29 for women and 2.17 for men in 2011. However, after surveying empirical works, Klaus and Strulik (2014) report that women tend to prefer to have fewer children than men in developing, especially, African countries but no difference in Asian countries.1) Different preferences between women and men might necessitate negotiation about how many children to have and how to rear them at home after marriage. The possibility of such bargaining induces strategic behaviors of women and men related to selfeducation investment even before marriage and gives rise to inefficiency in family decision-making. This paper first presents an analysis of outcomes of bargaining games related to investment in the premarital personal education and child-rearing time of
Electrocardiographic findings in COVID-19 patients

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV2) has caused the global pandemic, COVID-19. Though predominantly a respiratory illness, cardiac manifestations of COVID-19 significantly contribute to mortality. We wanted to determine whether admission electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics provide prognostic information in COVID-19. Methods: We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional observational study in a designated District COVID hospital. COVID-19 patient’s medical records were converted into an electronic database which included demographic data, clinical characteristics and electrocardiogram recorded at/near the time of admission. Primary outcome assessed was the occurrence of severe COVID-19. Results: Of 180 patients, the majority were males (67.8%) and aged 31-50 years (38.9%). The predominant comorbidity among patients who were discharged (non-severe COVID-19 disease) and those who got referred (severe COVID-19 disease) was hypertension (56.5% vs 43.3%), followed by diabetes mellitus (37.7% vs 36.7%). Fatigue (41.9%) and cough (18.5%) were the most frequent symptoms among non-severe cases. Of 32.8% of the patients with abnormal ECG, abnormal axis (25.5%), poor R wave progression (23.5%), T inversion (15.3%), left ventricular hypertrophy (12.2%) followed by ST segment depression (8.3%) were the frequent findings. Logistic regression analysis revealed that elderly patients (>60 years) (β=2.276, OR=9.737, p=0.002), Heart rate (β=0.191, OR=1.211, p=0.045) and ST segment depression (β=9.986, OR=21725.39, p=0.022) showed statistically significant positive association with Severe COVID-19. Conclusions: ST segment abnormalities on admission ECG are markers of cardiac injury and may assist in prognostication of COVID-19. Early identification of these findings might play a crucial role in identifying patients likely to progress to severe COVID-19.

Opioid is one of the encountered drug which cause rhabdomyolysis in association with renal failure. Paraparesis is one of the important feature of rhabdomyolysis which usually occur due to dyselectrolytemia (secondary hyperkalemic periodic paralysis) recovers completely on normalization of electrolyte, we are presenting a case of opioid induced rhabdomyolysis who develop paraparesis even with normal electrolyte which later on diagnosed as acute sensory motor axonal neuropathy.
Narrative review article on epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment: a bibliometric analysis of the global scientific research progress on esophageal cancer

Esophageal cancer (EC) is 8 common cause of cancer death in the world. Moreover, it is considered a public health issues due to it is incredibly aggressive nature and poor survival rate. The study reviewed the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and provides an overview of the global scientific research on EC. Bibliometrics studies have played a fundamental role in decision making regarding policy formation and the prioritization of resources for public health challenges. The bibliometric analysis was conducted for studies published between 1961 and 2019 using medical subject headings (MesH) database of the United States. VOSViewer and HistCite softwares were used for data analysis. Data was evaluated based on the title, trends, citations report, authorship, countries/regions, organizations, and journals. The total number of documents was 9,021, total citations was 222,721 and h-index was 160. Research article 7,871 (87.25%) and review paper 655 (7.26%), represent the majority of documents. The publications were rapidly increased during the period of 1985 to 2019. Journal of Diseases of the Esophagus and Annals of Surgical Oncology are leading journals. Doki Y, Wang Y and Kuwano H are most productive authors in EC research. Most published articles and leading funding agencies for EC research were from China, USA and Japan. The retrieved authors keywords were squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC). There is need for collaboration towards diagnostic and treatment of EC in the world and control the risk associated with EC.
Evaluation of Infertility-related Stress and its Associated Factors in Infertile Clients: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Infertility is a painful emotional experience associated with stress. Objectives: The present study aimed at determining infertility-related stress and its associated factors in infertile clients referred to the infertility clinic of Al-Zahra hospital in Rasht, Iran, in 2019. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was performed on 200 clients undergoing infertility treatment, selected by the convenience sampling method, and completed the Copenhagen multicentre psychological infertility-fertility problem scales (COMPI-FPSS). Descriptive and inferential statistics (the KolmogorovSmirnov, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-square, and t-tests, as well as the Spearman correlation coefficient, AVONA, and multiple linear regression) were used to analyze the data in SPSS version 16. Results: The results showed that the mean total score of infertility stress was 28.67±9.85 in the study subjects. The mean scores obtained in personal, marital, and social domains of COMPI-FPSS were 15.29±5.39, 7.43±3.72, and 5.95±2.47, respectively. A significant difference was observed in the stress score between males and females (P<0.001). There was a significant relationship between income adequacy (P=0.005), frequency of unsuccessful infertility treatment (P=0.001), duration of treatment (P=0.009), and infertility-related stress. Conclusion: Infertile subjects experienced more stress in the personal domain compared to other domains. Stress scores were significantly associated with gender, financial status, frequency of unsuccessful infertility treatment, and the duration of treatment variables. Therefore, providing counseling services and psychosocial interventions infertility treatment clinics in order to meet the psychological needs of infertile clients is an undeniable necessity.
Design perception and consumer-brand relationshipin textile apparel: Mediating role of experiential value and moderating role of openness to experience

Pakistan’s fashion and apparel market has shown comprehensive growth during the last decade. This paper aims to investigate the impact of design perception on consumer based brand equity and examines the mediating role of experiential value and moderating role of openness to experience. Data was collected from 210 consumers of textile apparel brands in Pakistan. Findings of the study reveal that there is a significant relationship between design perception and consumer based brand equity, experiential value mediates the relationship between design perception and consumer based brand equity. Furthermore results reveal that the personality trait of openness to experience plays a moderating role between the relationship of design perception and experiential value. This framework will encourage marketers and managers to adopt design thinking strategy, that will help to generate greater pleasure and social experiential value from product usage.
The role of perceived coaching behaviours on sport performance among female aesthetic group gymnasts

This study aimed to test the relations of perceived autonomy-supportive and controlling behaviours from coaches with athletes’ sport performance during competition in a context of female aesthetic group gymnastics. In line with self-determination theory, it was expected that the sequence of perceived psychological needs satisfaction and autonomous motivation, and psychological needs frustration and controlled motivation would mediate these relationships. Female aesthetic group gymnasts (n=128) ages 11–20 years completed self-report measures of perceived autonomysupportive and controlling behaviours from coaches, athletes’ needs satisfaction and needs frustration, including the need for novelty, as well as athletes’ autonomous and controlled motivation. Athletes’ objective performance during the competition was also obtained. Results from the single-indicator structural equation modelling analyses revealed a positive, indirect relationship between perceived autonomy-supportive behaviour from coaches and athletes’ performance mediated by the sequence of needs satisfaction and autonomous motivation. Significant indirect relationship between perceived controlling behaviour from coaches and athletes’ performance mediated by the sequence of needs frustration and controlled motivation was not followed. However, a negative direct relationship of controlled motivation, instigated by needs frustration, on athletes’ performance was evident. Findings suggest that perceived autonomy-supportive behaviour from coaches is an essential antecedent to athletes’ performance in a female aesthetic group gymnastics.
Saline water use for vegetable crops production in smallholders’ farms

Field studies on saline water use (6 dS/m) for carrot, lettuce and pepper production in smallholder's farms were conducted in the arid region of MedenineTunisia. The irrigation regimes were full (FI) and deficit (DI-80, DI-60, FI-DI60) irrigated with levels of 100, 80 and 60% of ETc when 40% of total available water in the root zone in the FI treatment was depleted, and farmer method (Farmers). Results show that the greatest values of soil salinity were observed under Farmers (FM) and DI-60 treatments. Relatively low ECe values were also recorded under FI-DI60 and DI-80 treatments. The highest mean yields of carrot (26.8-28.7-29.5 t/ha), lettuce (42.6-45.8 t/ha) and pepper (22.3-24.4 t/ha) were recorded for the FI treatment, that is not significantly different from the FI-DI60 and DI-80 treatments. Compared with FI, significant reductions in carrot, lettuce and pepper yields were observed under the DI60 and Farmers treatments, resulting from a reduction in yield components. The Farmers’s method increased soil salinity and resulted in an increase of water use of 43-57% for carrot, 26-29% for lettuce and 11.5-16% for pepper. Water productivity (WP) values reflected the differences in yields and varied between 3.4 (Farmers) and 9.7 kg/m (DI-80) for carrot, 7.5 and 19.1 kg/m for lettuce and 2.4 and 5.5 kg/m for pepper across different years and treatments. The soil water balance-based irrigation method (FI) generated the greatest net income compared to the Farmers treatment in carrot, lettuce and pepper productions under arid environment and the lowest soil salinization. FI scheduling technique is suggested for optimizing saline water use for vegetable crops. Under water scarcity, the adoption of the FI-DI60 and DI-80 strategies results in 4.5 to 20% water savings as compared to FI with small impact on salinity in the root zone and yield and net income reductions.
Influence of ABO and Rhesus Blood Group on Blood Pressure and Hypertension in Bayelsa State

Aim: This present study was carried out to ascertain the influences of ABO and Rhesus blood groups on blood pressure and hypertension among normotensive and hypertensive patients attending cardiologic clinic in Niger delta University Teaching Hospital, Okolobiri in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State Nigeria. Study Design: Cross sectional study design was adopted. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the Cardiology Clinics in the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital (NDUTH), Okolobiri, Bayelsa State, from February 2020 to November 2020. Methodology: This study was carried out on 800 participants, consisting of 400 each of apparently healthy Normotensive and Hypertensive individuals. The blood pressures were determined using palpatory and auscultatory (stethoscope and sphygmomanometer) method in both control and hypertensive groups and their ABO and Rhesus blood groups were determined using the slide Original Research Article Ojeka et al.; AJRIMPS, 10(1): 33-40, 2021; Article no.AJRIMPS. 63096 34 haemagglutination technique. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS statistical software to perform Chi-square test. Results: The frequency of the various blood groups was A-20.0%, B-16.8%, AB-13.3% and O50.0% for the normotensive individuals and A-12.0%, B-15.5%, AB-17.8% and O-54.8%, for the hypertensive individuals. The frequency of ABO blood groups in both the normotensive and hypertensive group was therefore found to be O>B>A>AB. The prevalence of blood group O and rhesus O -ve was found to be associated with elevated blood pressure and the development of hypertension while prevalence of blood group AB was found to be lowest in the same group, but was not significant statistically (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure of different blood groups. Conclusion: Blood group O was found to be the most common blood group in our study. Blood group O was also found to be more prone to hypertension. However, there was no statistically significant association between ABO blood groups and Hypertension.
MUSIC: A PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC TOOL

Music is commonly known as a veritable tool for entertainment, but there is more to music. This work examines the psychotherapeutic dimension of music. It examines the literature on the healing power of music, as well as the maladaptive effect of music. Elements of therapeutic music were highlighted, such as improvement of an individual’s mood; facilitating cognitive process; emotional healing; and spiritual health. The healing power of music is mediated through stress-reduction mechanism. As a person undergoing stress listens to relaxing music, through the unconscious mechanism of the autonomic nervous system, the person is restored to equilibrium. Producing wholesome music and getting young people to learn to appreciate such for their psycho-spiritual well-being is the challenge highlighted by the authors. Since the world is rapidly changing and problems abound, it is important to advance public awareness of the benefits of music therapy and increase access to quality music therapy services that can help manage some life challenges. Encounter groups could be organized for youths on the utility of various music genres in order to make wise choices. Therapists should be aware of the content and messages that are carried along by some genres of music, as to know what type of music is suitable for a particular problem or client.
Using Ionic Liquid Mixtures To Improve the SO2 Absorption Performance in Flue Gas

The functional ionic liquids (ILs) [NH2emim][OAc] and [NH2emim][BF4] were synthesized for SO2 capture. Although functional ILs have potential advantages in SO2 absorption, the high viscosity of a single IL markedly affects the SO2 absorption separation process. To improve the SO2 absorption performance, [NH2emim][OAc] and [NH2emim][BF4] were mixed with low-viscosity imidazolium-based ILs [bmim][OH]/[bmim][BF4]. When the mole ratio of [NH2emim][OAc]/[bmim][OH] is about 1:1, the binary mixture has the best SO2 absorption capacity. The SO2 absorption performance was investigated in the simulated flue gas, where SO2 partial pressure was about 0.2 kPa. Under the low SO2 partial pressure, the absorption capacity of the [NH2emim][OAc] + [bmim][OH] mixture was more than 0.7 mol of SO2/mol of IL, which was superior to that of a single IL. The regeneration test of [NH2emim][OAc] + [bmim][OH] showed that the binary mixture had high reversibility and the SO2 absorption capacity almost kept constant after 12 recycles.
DETERMINATION OF SOME HEAVY METALS IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF SADAT INDUSTRIAL CITY

The aim of this study was to assess the heavy metal concentration in the soil and the groundwater of Sadat City in Egypt and its relation to the highly developed industrial activities in that area. The levels of Pb, Cr, Cu, Cd, Zr, and V were determined in the groundwater samples (as drinking water supplies ) and also the same elements in the soil samples. 10 soil samples and 18 groundwater samples were collected from the city. The soil and the groundwater samples were analysed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The concentration of Pb, Cr, Cu, Cd, Zr, and V measured (in ppm) in the soil samples ranged from 0.48 to 11.3, 0.36 to 2.56, 43.7 to 304.0, 0.34 to 2.64, 0.209 to 21.7, and 0.10 to 17.0, respectively. The concentration of Pb, Cr, Cu, Cd, Zr, and V measured (in ppb) in the groundwater samples of all studied wells ranged from 0.11 to 41.32, 0.10 to 2.63, 0.14 to 5.76, 0.03 to 21.7, 11.4 to 134, and 0.08 to 5.08, respectively. The levels of Pb and Zr exceeded the threshold limits set by the WHO health-based guideline for drinking water in some studied groundwater wells.

A total of 1,80,000 laying hens (ISA brown) received and supplied enrofloxacin antibiotic in the dose of 0 mg, 10mg and 20 mg/kg BW with normal diet. Each layer was fed 120 g feed/day from 42 to 48 weeks of age. Antibiotic made significant differences in egg production (p
Nutritional and technological reasons for evaluating the antioxidant capacity of vegetable products

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), phenolic and flavonoid determinations were performed on "ready-to-eat" fresh or cooked vegetables, sprouts, frozen vegetables and fresh and dehydrated fruit. The peel and pulp of fresh fruit was compared as well. In the minimally processed vegetables, the reduction of phenolic and ORAC values ranged from 10 to 40% in comparison with the fresh vegetables; a reduction of 80% was found in frozen vegetables, depending on the texture of the vegetable and the consequent blanching time. Some sprouts were shown to possess a high ORAC and can be considered useful ingredients to increase the antioxidant capacity of salads. Dry fruit showed a 25-55% decrease in ORAC when compared with fresh fruit. In two cultivars of apple and pear the ORAC value of the peel was 6-9 fold higher than that of the pulp. The results are discussed from the standpoint of nutritional value and quality of the processing technology used.
