Mothers’ Satisfaction Towards Maternal and Child Healthcare Services Rendered at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Anambra State
Authors: Y.A.M. Emejulu , P.O. Ezenduka , C.U. Nwankwo
Published: April 2022

Patient satisfaction has been identified as a major index in the assessment of quality of healthcare globally. Mothers judge the quality of maternal and child healthcare services received based on their satisfaction with the services provided, thus influencing their utilization of healthcare facilities. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to determine the satisfaction of mothers towards maternal and child healthcare services rendered at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Anambra State. Two research questions and three research hypotheses guided the study. Using Taro Yamane’s formula for calculating sample size, a total number of four hundred (400) women were recruited, using convenient sampling techniques. The instrument for data collection was the questionnaire which was validated by three experts and a reliability coefficient of 0.99. Frequency counts and percentages were used to answer the research questions. Findings revealed that the respondents’ satisfaction with the maternal and child health services was above average as 41.5% were very satisfied with the antenatal care services received while 53% identified health providers’ attitude as one of the factors affecting their satisfaction. An association was found to exist between maternal age and satisfaction with quality of care and subsequently utilization of the services. There is no statistically significant relationship between maternal education and parity, and satisfaction with maternal and child health services. The null hypothesis was accepted at P>0.05. Though the overall maternal satisfaction on the maternal and child healthcare services provided was very good, the few domains of dissatisfaction identified need to be addressed by healthcare professionals and policymakers to sustain and improve utilization of orthodox healthcare services amongst mothers, thereby contributing to achieving the third Sustainable Development Goal. Hence, midwives should pay attention to women’s needs and provide opportunities for them to state how they feel and be carried along with their care.

Published: April 2022

The risk of contracting COVID-19 and becoming seriously ill increases with age. This study assessed perception and prevention practices relating to COVID 19 infection among the elderly in Ogun State. This study adopted a survey design. One hundred and seventy-five participants were selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The majority 142(81.9%) of the participants perceived themselves to be susceptible to COVID-19 infection, with 25(14.3%) perceiving it to be a serious disease. Less than a quarter 40(22.9) of the participants perceived COVID 19 prevention to be highly beneficial while most 115(65.7%) of the participants reported that their levels of barriers to prevention of COVID-19 were high. More than half of 95(54.3%) of the participants had low preventive practices for COVID-19. Participants’ perceived susceptibility to COVID 19 was negatively correlated with their prevention practices (r = -0.15; p = 0.04). In conclusion, the participants had a poor perception of COVID 19 infection and low prevention practices. It is recommended that COVID-19 awareness campaigns should focus on raising more awareness of the risks associated with the COVID 19 infection to make the elderly engage more in preventive behaviours.

From Dropwise 3D-Printing to icephobic feathers of penguins: Spreading and arrest near moving contact line during solidification
Authors: Kavehpour Pirouz
Published: April 2022

Spreading of liquid drop on cold solid substrates is a complicated problem that involves heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and phase change physics with the combination of complex wetting behavior of contact line. Many researchers are trying to obtain the final shape of the droplet or in other words the contact angle and radius of the drop after the solidification is complete. Understanding the physics behind the non-isothermal spreading of droplet is of utmost importance owing to its broad applications in diverse areas of industry in particular in 3D printing application. This work mainly focuses on obtaining important physical parameters involved in the process of spreading of molten droplets as well as controlling the post-solidification geometry of droplets. A complete set of experimental study is performed that shows the final radius in the case of free fall of droplet under high impact velocity is independent of the initial condition of the impact including the impact velocity and temperature gradients. The analytical modeling of the problem also verifies the accuracy of these results. Interestingly, there is a relationship between the 3D printing process and icephobicity for that one needs to look at nature. Antarctic penguins reside in a harsh environment where air temperature may reach -40C with wind speed of 40 m/s and water temperature remains around -2.2∘C. Penguins are constantly in and out of the water and splashed by waves, yet even in sub-freezing conditions, the formation of macroscopic ice is not observed on their feathers. Bird feathers are naturally hydrophobic ; however, penguins have an additional hydrophobic coating on their feathers to reinforce their non-wetting properties. This coating consists of preen oil which is applied to the feathers from the gland near the base of the tail. The combination of the feather’s hydrophobicity and surface texture is known to increase the contact angle of water drops on penguin feathers to over 140∘ and classify them as superhydrophobic. We here develop an in-depth analysis of ice formation mechanism on superhydrophobic surfaces through careful experimentations and development of a theory to address how ice formation is delayed on these surfaces. Furthermore, we investigate the anti-icing properties of warm and cold weather penguins with and without preen oil to further design a surface minimizing the frost formation which is of practical interest especially in aircraft industry.
Influences of slope aspects on soil properties of Anatolian black pine forests in the semiarid region of Turkey
Authors: GÖL Ceyhun
Published: April 2022

This study assessed the influences of slope aspect on soil physicochemical properties (soil quality indicators) on contiguous south-north facing slopes and hill plain (ridge crest) of the mid-mountain in Central Anatolia, having the same climate, vegetation and parent material. Anatolian black pine (Pinus nigra subsp. Pallasiana var. Pallasiana (Arnold)) was the dominant, and Cedar (Cedrus libani A. Richard), oak (Quercus sp.) were the co-dominant species in all aspects, whereas juniper (Juniperus sp.) was only recorded in north-facing forests. Some of the soil properties were determined on a grid with a 50 m sampling distance on the topsoil (0-15 cm depth). Accordingly, a total of 150 samples were taken from the three adjacent aspects. The data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA statistical methods. The investigated soil variables were soil organic matter (SOM), soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), bulk density (BD), texture, lime (CaCO3), and pH. The showed that differences between SOC, BD and soil texture were statistically significant at 0.05 levels. Topographic aspect induced microclimatic differences were found to be important factors for the significant variations in SOC stocks. The resulting analyses showed no significant variation (p < 0.05) across slope aspects for SOM, TN, lime, and pH. The differences may be attributed to topographic aspect induced microclimatic differences, which cause differences in the biotic soil component and organic matter trend and affect soil fertility. These results suggest that the slope aspect affects the soils of mountain forests through their direct influence on radiation, evaporation, biological activity, and soil moisture content.

Interfaith dating is a phenomenon that cannot be avoided. Regardless of the pros and cons of the church on whether or not different religions are allowed to date. The church thinks that assistance for interfaith courtship is very useful because it can be a medium to prevent interfaith marriages that are contrary to the basic values of the Christian faith. Responding to interfaith courtship, the church cannot remain silent. The church must be active to play a maximum role in preventing interfaith courtship by providing assistance to interfaith dating couples, in this case Christianity and Islam. The interesting thing is, in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 there is an implied method to provide assistance to interfaith courtship, behind the strict commandment that forbids having an interfaith partner. This paper will use a postpositivism qualitative approach, accompanied by examples of interfaith courtship cases that occurred in GBT Sei Menggaris, North Kalimantan. As for the results of this assistance, interfaith couples can be directed to courtship guidance with partners who share the same faith, namely by following the Christian faith.Keywords: church; the book of Corinth; accompaniment; pastoral; different religion dating AbstrakPacaran beda agama adalah sebuah fenomena yang tidak bisa dihindari. Terlepas dari pro dan kontra gereja terhadap boleh tidaknya pacaran beda agama. Gereja emikirkan pendampingan terhadap pacaran beda agama amat bermanfaat karena dapat menjadi sebuah media untuk mencegah terjadinya perkawinan beda agama yang bertentangan dengan nilai dasar iman Kristen. Menyikapi pacaran beda agama, gereja tidak bisa tinggal diam. Gereja harus aktif untuk berperan semaksimal mungkin mencegah terjadinya pacaran beda agama dengan melalukan sebuah pendampingan kepada pasangan pacaran beda agama, dalam hal ini Kristen dan Islam. Menariknya adalah, di dalam 2 Korintus 6:14-18 terdapat metode secara tersirat untuk melakukan pendampingan pada pacaran beda agama, di balik perintah tegas yang melarang untuk memiliki pasangan beda agama. Penulisan ini akan menggunakan metode pendekatakan kualitatif pospositivisme dengan disertai contoh kasus pacaran beda agama yang terjadi di GBT Sei Menggaris, Kalimantan Utara. Adapun hasil dari pendampingan ini, pasangan beda agama dapat diarahkan kepada bimbingan pacaran dengan pasangan yang seiman yaitu dengan mengikuti iman Kristen.Kata Kunci : gereja; kitab Korintus; pendampingan; pastoral; pacaran beda agama

Values are the guiding set of principles within us. It often deals with the do’s and don’t’s. Values are socially approved which guides our behavior in the society we live. Gorden Allport ,(1969) has defined value as "a belief upon which a man acts by preferences." value is what is desired or what is sought values may be operationally conceived as those guiding principles of life which are conductive to one's physical and mental health, also to social welfare and adjustment and which are a part of one's culture. According to Paul Brenton, the problems which bring down on humanity, may be mostly political, economical and ecological, but their ground remains moral and metaphysical. Unfortunately, the society today finds itself ill equipped to handle these fundamental problems. One of the important reasons being complete lack of moral and spiritual training even among the educated sections of the society. In order to solve the problem of lack of moral and spiritual values among us, our curriculum should inculcate value education right from the foundational stage. The study aims to analyse the need for value education in our educational curriculum for developing better citizens.

Plant immunity

Published: April 2022

Immunity is a term closely affiliated with the normal being of an organism as it puts across a cascade of physiological facets that contributes affirmatively towards the knocking down of the invaded pathogen. It is a widely known and accepted fact that cells associated with the immune system serve as driving force in eliminating the disease causing agent and plants are not exempted from this mechanism but the approach of counteracting a pathogenic contender in plants are quite different from that of higher vertebrates. Several factors of internal and external origin have equally contributed towards the development of plant immunity. However, the role of microbes in conferring immunity to plants cannot be denied and their prominence in accordance with the fortifying the plant system against the invading pathogens have been extensively researched. Responses like systemic acquired resistance and induced systemic resistance have been studied in plants which get triggered in response to various micro invaders of pathogenic and non pathogenic echelon. Several studies claim the role of microbes in instigating either of these responses that in turn gives rise to a cascade of reactions within the plants resulting in plant immunity. T
Residual Risk That Remains
Authors: Kochar Arun
Published: April 2022

The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases keeps increasing each year globally. As atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, it is important to take ample preventive measures. Despite lifestyle modifications and intensified lipid management, a significant proportion of patients are at "Residual risk". This review describes the various residual risk factors and the results of large-scale clinical trials conducted to address this issue in ASCVD. The major residual risk factors are classified in the inflammatory, thrombotic, and metabolic pathways. Results from the JUPITER and PROVE-IT TIMI 22 show that serum levels of hsCRP play a vital role in defining the residual inflammatory risk in high-risk individuals with hypercholesterolemia. Apart from hsCRP, IL-1, and IL-6 is also crucial in driving the inflammatory risk in patients with atherosclerotic disease. Besides statins, IL-1, IL-6 and chemokine inhibitors, and several other drugs are used to treat patients with residual inflammatory risk. To address the residual thrombotic risk, along with aspirin to reduce the vascular events, ATLAS ACS-2 TIMI 51 and COMPASS clinical trials demonstrated that rivoroxaban was found to be beneficial in improving the clinical outcome. As increased amounts of lipoprotein are linked with a raised risk of myocardial infarction, evolocumab and other novel therapies that target lipoprotein are under development. The role of triglycerides and HDL in atherogenesis is yet to be clearly elucidated. The emergence of SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 RA in diabetes treatment has also proven beneficial in improving cardiovascular outcomes. It is essential to address the residual risk component for optimum management of patients with ASCVD. Keywords: Atherosclerosis; Residual risk; Inflammation; Thrombosis; Metabolic risk
