Authors: Ibrahim Iliyas Iliyas , Rambo Saidu Isah , Dauda Ali Baba , Tasiu Suleiman
Published: June 2021

eural Network (DNN) is now applied in disease prediction to detect various ailments such as heart disease and diabetes. Another disease that is causing a threat to our health is kidney disease. This disease is becoming prevalent due to substances and elements we intake. Ignoring the kidney malfunction can cause chronic kidney disease leading to death. Frequently, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and its symptoms are mild and gradual, often go unnoticed for years only to be realized of late. We conducted our research on CKD in Bade, a Local Government Area of Yobe State in Nigeria. The area has been a center of attention by medical practitioners due to the prevalence of CKD. Unfortunately, a technical approach in culminating the disease is yet to be attained. We obtained a record of 1200 patients with 10 attributes as our dataset from Bade General Hospital and used the DNN model to predict CKD's absence or presence in the patients. The model produced an accuracy of 98%. Furthermore, we identified and highlighted the Features importance to rank the features used in predicting the CKD. The outcome revealed that two attributes: Creatinine and Bicarbonate, have the highest influence on the CKD prediction.

Authors: Ibrahim Abdulhamid B. , Kogi E.
Published: June 2021

A retrospective study of laboratory records in selected hospitals in Zaria was carried out to determine the trend of malaria prevalence between 2001 and 2005. Data was obtained from the following selected hospitals: St Luke’s Anglican Hospital, Wusasa, Salama Infirmary, Saidu Dange railway Hospital and Sick Bay, Ahmadu Bello University, Main campus, Samaru. The selection of the hospitals was based on their geographical location and sizes. The prevalence was consistently high over the years; 2001–44.1%, 2002–59.45%, 2003–59.35%, 2004–58.30% and 2005–64.25%. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) between malaria infection in males and females. Infection rates were significantly higher in children than adults (P<0.05) in all hospitals sampled except Salama Infirmary. Sick Bay in the main campus, Samaru had the least prevalence consistently over the five years period – 2001-27.0%, 2002-26.3%, 2003-21.8%, 2004-25.9% and 2005-33.2%. No clear seasonal variation over the years was observed. The study clearly showed consistent high prevalence over the five years period. Record keeping was useful as it provided data bur devoid of specific ages of attendees. Specific ages of hospital attendees rather than “children” or “adults” should be recorded and other demographic variables such as occupation and other socio-economic proxies should be included in laboratory record books

Albizia chevalieri Hams (Mimosaceae/Fabaceae), mostly found in the Northern Sahel Savannah region of Nigeria as well as in Nigér and Senegal is a tree of the acacia type with a long list of folklore therapeutic claims that include its use as purgative, taenicidal, cough remedy, dysentery, cancer, diabetes mellitus, tuberculosis and snake bite remedy. However, many bacterial species have been reported to develop resistance to antibiotics commonly prescribed for dental infections. Therefore, the need to search for natural products for remedy to this problem cannot be overemphasized. The stem was collected, dried and powdered. The powder was thereafter extracted with distilled water and subsequently with methanol. Phytochemical screening was carried out using standard methods. Agar well diffusion, agar dilution and spread plate methods were employed to determine the zone of inhibition, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) and rate of killing respectively. Phytochemical screening of methanol and aqueous extracts of Albizia chevalieri stem revealed the presence of phenol, alkaloid, saponins, tannins, steroids, triterpenes, flavonoids and carbohydrate as secondary metabolites. The two extracts showed broad spectrum of activity but the aqueous extract had larger zones of inhibition of 32 mm against S. mutans while methanol extract had higher zone of inhibition on S. aureus (24 mm). Low MIC and MBC values ranging from 6.25 mg/ml and 12.5 mg/ml respectively. The results obtained also provided scientific evidence for the use of A. chevalieri in folklore medicine in the treatment of tooth infections.
Terapia della traduzione nel Purgatorio di Dante
Authors: Arnaldi Marta
Published: June 2021

Questo saggio muove da tre considerazioni critiche: che il terzo luogo o spazio del purgatorio sia intimamente traduttivo; che l’accezione metaforica di ‘traduzione’ non sia fenomeno unicamente linguistico ma comprenda traslazioni fisiche e metafisiche; e che i linguaggi della mistica e della malattia, apparentemente scollegati, presentino un’analoga resistenza nei confronti del linguaggio, concettualizzabile come ‘intraducibilità’. Il presente saggio affronta queste tre aree in modo organico e sintetico. Da un lato, viene proposta una nuova interpretazione del purgatorio dantesco, fondato sulla traduzione in quanto processo di transizione e intermedietà. Dall’altro, il saggio interpreta il viaggio di Dante come metafora della cura, facendo della traduzione una teologia della terapia.
CONSTRUCTIVISTIC PATHS IN TEACHING PHYSICS: FROM INTERACTIVE EXPERIMENTS TO STEP-BY-STEP TEXTBOOKS
Authors: Karwasz Grzegorz P. , Służewski Krzysztof , Kamińska Anna
Published: June 2021

Teaching Physics, in-between theory and technical applications is nowadays a tedious task. Apparent abundance of web resources makes access to information easy, but its use by pupils is quite unclear. These difficulties, added to less importance held by physics nowadays than in the last decades, inside the national educative system, caused in many countries a fall of interest in studying science and technology.
Within several national and international programs, involving mainly Poland and Italy, various recipes for school education at lower and higher secondary level were developed in our group. All these recipes were oriented towards real experiments and constructing the discovery paths with pupils. The school (and extra-scholastic activities for primary-age pupils) included: collections of simple experiments “Physics and Toys”, interactive lectures for children, itinerary exhibitions, innovative textbooks inviting the reader to a heuristic dialog, computer-guided experiments, and collections of problems in physic solved step-by-step. We resume some of these implementations and draw main results.
Actions were undertaken with three cultural goals: trigger a wide interest in physics through “Fun in Physics” activities, improve didactical efficiency at schools, induce students’ initiative in an independent discovery of science.
In detail, for a lower secondary school simple interactive experiments on electromagnetism were introduced, and a textbook on mechanics. For higher secondary schools – a textbook on modern physics and computer-guided experiments; for children aged 5-10 – interactive lectures on mechanics, electricity, acoustics. Evaluations were performed by qualitative and quantitative measures, in Poland and Italy, in collaboration with several teachers and PhD students.
All these, constructivist applications show an improved efficiency and find positive evaluations among teachers and pupils. However, partial and sporadic actions do not lead to significant results. Only conjugated implementations of new experimental tools (real objects) and didactical methods (inquiry-based teaching) shows achievements congruent with the Lisbon EU declaration on Knowledge-based Societies (EU Commission White Paper: Education and Training, 1995).
Key words: educational systems, teaching physics, interactive exhibitions, simple experiments, computer-guided laboratories, constructivism, cognitive sciences.
COLLABORATION BETWEEN GENERAL AND SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS: DEVELOPING CO-TEACHING SKILLS IN HETEROGENEOUS CLASSES
Authors: Tzivinikou Sotiria
Published: June 2021

A considerable amount of research evidence suggests that collaboration between general and special education teachers is a pillar of the effective teaching for all students, including those with learning difficulties. Adopting the above position the present study aimed to present and discuss fifteen cases regarding co-teaching in the context of “parallel support”, where a special education teacher supports a learning disabled student in a mainstream classroom. Particularly, after an in-service training for promoting effective instructional skills, fifteen pairs of general and special teachers were asked to record the co-teaching procedures in their classrooms. Data collection was carried out through the participants’ self-evaluation rubrics. The quantitative analysis showed that in almost all cases, the collaboration between the pairs of educators was improved, they applied the in-service training knowledge in order to meet the different needs of all students, using the most effective strategies and procedures. The most interesting finding was that in most cases the initially adopted model of co-teaching was replaced by the parallel co-teaching where each teacher provides instruction to different students to the ‘team teaching’, where both teachers are responsible for planning and they share the instruction of all students. Thus, it seems that it is achievable to build an effective co-teaching model for heterogeneous classrooms. Key words: co-teaching, parallel co-teaching, team-teaching, self-evaluation rubric.
EARLY SCIENCE OUTDOORS: LEARNING ABOUT TREES IN THE PRESCHOOL PERIOD
Authors: Kos Marjanca , Šuperger Brigita , Jerman Janez
Published: June 2021

The natural environment is known to be a perfect place for learning early science and there is a lot of literature describing activities for children in the forest. Yet there is a lack of concrete data illustrating how much children can actually learn through such activities. The aim of the research was to establish children’s progress in their knowledge about trees and in process skills they gained through structured activities and free play in the forest. A quasi-experiment with one control and one experimental group was carried out, each comprising 16 children aged 5–6 years. The state of the children's previous knowledge and observational skills regarding trees was established through individual interviews. The children were given three tasks: naming a leaf (10 leaves); connecting a fruit or cone (8 fruits) to the corresponding leaf; and choosing the leaf they recognise as the same as each of the 10 given test leaves among a total of 17 leaves (this activity sought to investigate the progress in the children's observational skills). Children from the experimental group then continued with the activities in the forest. Following those activities, the knowledge and skills they had acquired were established via repeated interviews in both groups. The results show that at the beginning of the experiment the children's prior knowledge of trees was poor. After the activities were performed, children in the experimental group showed a statistically significant improvement in their results for naming the leaves and connecting the fruits or cones to the corresponding leaf. Progress in observational skills through the task of choosing a pair of leaves from among many could not be identified since the result had also significantly improved in the control group. Familiarity with the task may well have had a stronger influence on the results than the forest activities themselves. The result of the research allows the conclusion that appropriate forest activities enable children to progress in the field of early science, and it is therefore suggested that outdoor activities form an essential part of preschool education. Key words: children, early science education, observational skills, outdoor play and learning, trees.
INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING AND COLLABORATIVE METHODS ON JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS SOCIAL STUDIES LEARNING OUTCOMES IN OYO STATE, NIGERIA
Authors: Oyediji Olubukola , Okwilagwe Eugenia
Published: June 2021

Learner-centred methods of teaching are rarely used in most Nigerian classrooms. Pedagogic practices at the basic level of education encourage teacher-dominated methods that do not allow for students’ active participation and inculcation of behavioural changes that reflect the outcomes of learning Social studies. As a paradigm shift, the main effects of treatments (Self-directed learning, Collaborative task method and a combination of the two methods), gender and achievement motivation on the combined dependent variables of achievement in Social studies and critical thinking were investigated. Three hypotheses stated were tested at the 0.05 level of significance. A pre-test post-test non-randomised control group design was adopted in which treatments were crossed with two levels of achievement motivation and gender respectively. 223 males and 136 female students were randomly selected from 12 junior secondary schools in Oyo State. Three instruments: Academic Achievement Motivation Inventory (α = 0.83), Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (α = 0.87) and Social Studies Achievement Test (r = 0.80) were used to collect data from the participants. Using Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA), Self-directed learning proved to be most significant in improving the learning of Social studies concepts, followed by a combination of Self-directed learning and Collaborative task methods while the Collaborative task method was the least effective. Gender and achievement motivation had significant effects on students’ achievement and not on critical thinking. The findings have implications for the teaching of Social studies in Nigeria. If the rationale of instruction is to enhance the acquisition of cognitive learning outcome with the teacher acting as a facilitator, then the Self-directed learning is most beneficial to students followed by a combination of Self-directed learning and Collaborative task method. When students are actively involved in the teaching-learning process, their academic achievement is more enhanced, especially when a conducive environment is provided.
Key words: achievement motivation, collaborative task method, critical thinking, self-directed learning, social studies achievement.
PRINCIPALS’ WORK STORIES WITHIN NEO-LIBERAL SCHOOL REFORM
Authors: Rafferty John , Turunen Tuija A.
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this research is to investigate the work stories of four principals as they implement a neo-liberal school reform program in their schools. Work stories were defined as explanatory frameworks the principals used to explore the effects of the program. The work stories included several sub-themes, story lines. Discourse analysis was used to identify the work stories and the story lines within semi-structured interviews with the principals. The results indicate that the principals constructed the neo-liberal school reform program as a new, better school culture. The new culture needed to be promoted with enough firmness to establish social norms and to ensure conformity of teacher behaviour. To ensure the implementation of the program, the principals positioned themselves as corporate leaders or sporting coaches with little reference to educational considerations. The work stories positioned the teachers in their schools as ‘managed professionals’ with diminished trust and respect as teaching and educational professionals. Analysing work stories helps to understand what is happening to particular individuals within particular institutions at particular times. Within the neo-liberal landscape, there is a temptation to think that the social relations, meanings and assumptions of schooling are no longer problematic. Discourse analysis provides one way to see behind these temptations and provides an alternative analysis on neo-liberal reform programs.
Key words: neo-liberalism, school reform, work stories, managed professionals, discourse analysis.

Authors: Tzivinikou Sotiria
Published: June 2021

Teachers’ professional development is the key to education improvement. On that basis, the present study aimed to investigate the impact of a 6-month in-service training program in the context of the continuing professional development for educators on educational practice. The main objective of the training program was to improve the educators’ teaching skills, to enrich their practices with the most effective strategies and with the newest findings from research evidence in order to increase the quality of their educational interventions for students with special educational needs. An innovation of that program was the simultaneous training of both general and special education teachers in pairs, smoothing the dividing lines between general and special education in their daily instructional practice. The participants were 30 educators, divided into 15 pairs. Each pair was working in the same inclusive school sharing the responsibility of the educational support of a student with learning problems. The estimation of the impact of the program was investigated by measuring the educators’ increasing sense of self-efficacy in relation to their instructional skills and overall effectiveness of their educational interventions for their students with learning difficulties. A pre and post evaluation research design was employed and the findings showed that the training program had a positive impact on the educators’ self-efficacy and their effectiveness regarding collaborative educational interventions for their students. Key words: continuing professional development, in-service training, self-efficacy.

The efficiency at field level is in large
part measured in terms of the evenness of depth
of moisture of the soil, which is directly related to
the constant delivery of discharge. The deficiency
in operation of networks may be due to incorrect
measurement of discharge passing through the
Check Structure. For measuring the discharge
through gate, the value of Coefficient of
Discharge Cd is one of the important factors. The
value of Cd for any gate can be assessed either by
continuous observation at site for long duration
or by regression analysis or by developing a
laboratory model.
The discharge algorithms accurately represent
the complete discharge characteristics for the
range of water levels and radial gate geometry
normally encountered at canal radial gate check

Published: June 2021

The consequences of TBI are most often grouped into the so-called Post-concussion Syndrome (PCS). At present, there is no clear understanding of the evolution, duration, or resolution of the symptoms of PCS after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Aim of the study. A prospective characterization of the frequency and evolution of PCS symptoms and outcomes of patients after mTBI for 3, 6, and 12 months in a large prospective cohort of patients in the emergency department. Material and methods. A total of 375 patients met the inclusion criteria. Patients were evaluated using the PCS checklist, as well as the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (EGOS), the Short List of Symptoms-18 (SLS-18), the Rivermead Post-Concussion Questionnaire (RPCQ), and the Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS). Results. The population was 70.1% male, with a median age of 44 years. Approximately 44% of the population were considered to have complicated mTBI, having positive results of computed tomography (CT). The average injury severity score (ISS), calculated only for patients admitted to the hospital, was 9.37±9.72 (279 in total). ISS was significantly higher in patients with positive CT (16.5±8.39) compared to patients with negative CT (3.8±6.6). Conclusion. Patients with negative CT scans had significantly increased rates of neurological problems, prior TBI, and alcohol use, which may contribute to increased symptoms and a deterioration in BSI-18 scores. After examining only those patients with a negative history of the disease, there was no significant difference between the groups with positive and negative results for any indicator of outcome.

In the modern economy, despite the fact that the term “small business” has become widespread in the literature and regulatory legal acts, there is still no consensus on the definition of its essence. The number of interpretations is difficult to classify in detail. The reasons for this are seen in the different scientific foundations of interpretations, their own displacement of new interpretations in the light of parallel scientific directions. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of the most significant factors of the macroenvironment. The author analyzed the terminology: “small business”, “small business”, “microbusiness”, “individual entrepreneurship.
