Özet

Çalışmamızın amacı, öğrenci değişiminin nedenlerini ve öğrencilerin eğitim kariyerlerine bir işletme okulunda başladıktan sonra neden ayrılıp başka bir üniversiteye kayıt yaptırdıklarını incelemektir. Mart 2019 - Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında, Türkiye'nin başkenti Ankara'da bir işletme okulundan diğerine geçiş yapan 31 öğrenci (11 kadın, 20 erkek; ort. yaş: 21,12; dağılım: 19-25) ile nitel bir metodoloji izlenerek öğrencilerle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmış, analiz sürecinde nitel verileri analiz etmek için QSR NVivo 12 for Windows yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, öğrenci kaybının ana nedeninin eğitim dili olarak İngilizce kullanımına ilişkin engellerle ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bunu okul veya bölümden memnuniyetsizlik takip etmektedir. Öğrencilerin başka bir üniversiteyi tercih etme nedenleri arasında seçilen üniversitede arkadaşlarının olması, eve yakınlık, yönlendirmeler ve aile üyeleri de yer almaktadır. Bu çalışma, üniversite yöneticilerine yükseköğretimde öğrenci kaybının nedenlerine ilişkin önemli bilgiler sunmaktadır. Sonuçlar üniversite türüne göre incelendiğinde, devlet üniversitelerinden ayrılan öğrencilerin üniversite veya bölümden memnuniyetsizliklerinin, vakıf üniversitesinden ayrılanların ise yabancı dil sorununun üniversiteden ayrılmalarında daha etkili olduğu görülmektedir. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre, üniversite yönetiminin öğrencilerin yabancı dil becerilerinin nasıl geliştirileceği üzerine yoğunlaşması, araştırma ve inovasyona daha fazla yatırım yapması ve öğrenciler arasındaki iletişimi geliştirmek için sosyal faaliyetleri artırması gerekmektedir.

Authors: Álvarez-Lora Esaú del Cristo , Iglesias-Jiménez Óscar Giovanny , Martelo-Herazo Carlos Alberto , Salgado-Montiel Luis Gabriel , Quintana-Pájaro Loraine de Jesús
Published: September 2023

Introducción: el derrame pericárdico es una complicación poco frecuente del hipotiroidismo; su evolución al taponamiento suele ser subdiagnosticado debido a la baja sospecha clínica causando demora en el tratamiento y complicaciones fatales.
Objetivo: identificar pacientes con signos de electrocardiográficos de taponamiento como: alternancia eléctrica, bajo voltaje, sumado a bradicardia, y una radiografía de tórax con cardiomegalia, lo que permite pensar en hipotiroidismo como etiología subyacente.
Presentación del caso: paciente masculino de 41 años quien ingresó por síndrome edematoso y disnea, con hallazgos clínicos y paraclínicos sugestivos de derrame pericárdicos masivo y signos de taponamiento cardiaco, manejado con drenaje pericárdico y levotiroxina.
Discusión: las causas de la disnea en el paciente que consulta a urgencias son innumerables. La anamnesis y los hallazgos semiológicos durante le evaluación clínica son el punto de partida para su estudio. Con relación al hipotiroidismo y la disnea de origen cardiaco, esta tiene un sustento en cuya base confluyen varios aspectos fisiopatológicos.
Conclusión: la identificación de individuos con factores de riesgo para HP, su diagnóstico y tratamiento impactan positivamente en la reducción de síntomas y complicaciones.

Authors: Contreras-Romero Jeiver Aldubar , Castro Gomez Kevin Guillermo , Morales Ortigoza Maria Paula , Saavedra López Harold Felipe
Published: September 2023

Contexto: la Lipoproteína(a) (Lp(a)) fue descrita por primera vez por el genetista Kare Berg en 1963, aislada como un nuevo antígeno (en suero humano), asociada al colesterol de lipoproteínas de baja densidad. Posteriormente se reportó que sus niveles son determinados genéticamente y genera mayor riesgo de desarrollar aterosclerosis. En los últimos 20 años se ha incrementado la evidencia acerca de la estructura, genética y papel metabólico de la Lp(a), además de las posibles terapias para disminuir su aterogenicidad.
Objetivo: aportar información sobre el papel de la Lp(a) en la enfermedad aterosclerótica y evaluar la nueva evidencia acerca de las terapias actuales, principalmente el papel de los oligonucleótidos antisentido.
Metodología: revisión de la literatura en la base de datos PubMed, Google académico y literatura gris utilizando los términos MeSH: “lipoprotein(a)”, “atherosclerosis”, “physiopathology”, “therapeutics”, “drug therapy”, “oligonucleotides, antisense” y por revisión del listado de referencias bibliográficas (en “bola de nieve”) de los estudios seleccionados.
Resultados: existe gran variedad de evidencia bibliográfica acerca de la Lp(a), su importancia en el desarrollo de enfermedad arteriosclerótica, y las múltiples opciones farmacológicas tanto aprobadas como en desarrollo usando esta molécula como diana terapéutica.
Conclusiones: el entendimiento de la Lp(a) trae nuevas respuestas acerca de la enfermedad cardiovascular aterosclerótica; actualmente se encuentra en desarrollo farmacológico los oligonucleótidos antisentido, propuestos como una terapia prometedora para la modificación de sus niveles, sin embargo, es necesario esperar los desenlaces de la fase III de los ensayos para confirmar resultados preliminares.
INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RECOVERY OF OILS SPILLED IN SEAWATER USING HYDROPHOBIZED POST-CONSUMER POLYURETHANE FOAMS
Authors: Rocha K. R. , Chiavone-Filho O. , Oliveira H. N. M.
Published: September 2023

Although economically vital, whether in cold Scandinavian or warm Caribbean waters, offshore oil exploration accounts for oil spills at sea. One of the mechanisms used for recovering spilled oil consists of using porous materials with high sorption capacity in the cleanup process. Post-consumer polyurethane foams (PC-PUFs) are highly porous polymers typically disposed by consumers in Brazilian cities. In this work, PC-PUFs obtained from discarded mattresses were modified superficially to promote hydrophobization and increase their selectivity for oils over water. The characterization showed foams with well-defined macro pores. Surfaces of MoS2-modified foams (MoS2-PC) showed an increase in seawater penetration rejection and oil attraction when compared to unmodified foams (Un-PC). Sorption tests simulating oil spillage at 1 °C, 12 °C, and 23 °C were conducted to verify the influence of temperature on oil recovery by PC-PUFs. Tests on the seawater-diesel system showed that diesel, a low-viscosity oil with slight viscosity variation with temperature reduction, penetrated both Un-PC and MoS2-PC foams easily, making the modifications on MoS2-PC irrelevant. In the seawater-S46 lubricant system, which had a more viscous oil and presented a substantial variation in viscosity with temperature reduction, there was greater difficulty in penetrating the Un-PC foam when compared to MoS2-PC, showing that the modifications were responsible for the increase in the recovery of more viscous oils spilled in seawater at different temperatures.

Published: September 2023

Recently, the domestic plant disease control policy for fire blight has been implemented partial control in addition to burial control. In this study, an on-site management survey was conducted targeting orchards that implemented partial disease control from 2019 to 2020 in order to find efficient implementation methods for partial disease control. As a result of an investigation into 22 pear and apple orchards in Cheonan and Chungju, 7 orchards were buried. The upper part of the cut infected plants was burned at 16 orchards and covered with plastic vinyl after lime treatment at 6 orchards. The lower stumps of cut infected plants were burned at 7 orchards and covered with plastic vinyl after lime treatment at 15 orchards. There were two orchards where suckers appeared on the stumps even though covers were applied. There was no infection by Erwinia amylovora in the suckers. The conservation condition of lime treatment was good, but warning signs were absent at 6 orchards. Most orchards treated the stumps and surrounding areas with glyphosate-isopropylamine herbicide. The effect of partial control was judged to be safe.

Published: September 2023

Because of their impact on environmental variables, understanding plankton communities is crucial for aquaculture. This assay was performed with a view to examining the ecological effect of nutrient managements on plankton community in pond with four treatments having three replications; T0 was control without feed and fertilizer, T1 with only fertilizer, T2 with fertilizer and feed and T3 with only feed. Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry was stocked and fed initially at 50% of body weight in T3 and gradually reduced to 5%. Feed in T2 was half of treatment T3; fertilization was done weekly. In the study, four phytoplankton groups were identified: Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, and Euglenophyceae, along with four zooplankton groups: Rotifera, Copepoda, Cladocera, and Crustacea. The most dominant phytoplankton and zooplankton groups were found as Chlorophyceae and Rotifera, respectively. The treatments showed significant difference (P <0.05) in plankton, notably between T2 and T0. The mean plankton abundance was highest in treatment T2. Findings indicated that application of both fertilizers and feed was better for plankton population growth than other treatments. So, the study could recommend that combined application of fertilizers and supplemental feed as the best option for semi-intensive fish farming.

The experiment, with five treatments and three replications, was set up using the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Different variety influence the parameters like days of first flowering, plant height (cm), number of pods per plant, number of leaves per plant, individual pod weight (gm), length of pods, seed per pod, yield per plant (gm), yield per plot (gm).
The varieties were FLK-203, FLK-204, FLK-205, FLK-206. The study revealed that the highest plant height (174.67 cm) was recorded in the yardlong bean FLK-204, followed by FLK-205 (157.67 cm). First flowering (27.67 DAS) was found in variety FLK-206, followed by variety FLK-204 (32.67 DAS). The highest number of pods per plant (8) was found in yardlong bean variety FLK-203 and FLK-204, followed by variety FLK-206 (4.67) per plant. Maximum pod length (65.33 cm) was recorded in variety FLK-206, followed by yardlong bean variety FLK-204 (50.33). The highest individual pod weight was found in yardlong bean variety FLK-206 (34.53 gm) followed by variety FLK 205 (19 gm). Maximum number of seed per pod (16.67) was found in variety FLK-206, followed by FLK-206 and FLK-205 (15). The highest yield per plant (177.85 gm) was in yardlong bean variety FLK-203, followed by FLK-205 (99.67 gm). The highest yield per pod (690.26 gm) was in yardlong bean variety FLK-203, followed by FLK-206 (506.2 gm). The highest yield per plot (1067.1gm) was recorded in yardlong bean FLK-203 followed by FLK-205 (598 gm). So, the variety yardlong bean FLK-203 was found superior based on the overall performance for cultivation under argo-climatic condition of Noakhali. According to the research outcomes, FLK-203 showed the highest growth and yield than all other varieties in this areas of under Young Meghna Estuarine Floodplain soil (AEZ-18).

Authors: Kamrujaman Md , Sheheli Shonia , Rahman Md , Mithun Md
Published: September 2023

A study was conducted to determine the extent of pre-harvest interval practice (from here and later in PHI) after pesticide application by the brinjal farmers of Shajahanpur upazila in Bogura, Bangladesh. Data were collected from 210 brinjal farmers during October 2021 to April 2022 through personal interview and focus group discussions (FGDs). Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that majority of the brinjal growers of the study area practiced PHI at the level of highly toxic (62%) in October, highly toxic in November (51.3), moderately toxic (83.5%) in December, moderately toxic (85.4%) in January, moderately toxic in February (74.5%), slightly toxic (51%) in March, and slightly toxic (62.9%) in April. Overall, the practice scenario of PHI by large portion of the brinjal farmers (97%) fell in unsafe categories whereas only 3% of them practiced PHI at a safe level. Survey responses indicated that extensive inaccurate pesticide usage, particularly inadequate PHI, endangers human health and the environment. It is suggested that Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE), other GOs, and NGOs should take necessary joint efforts to instruct brinjal farmers on pesticide residue management by putting approved PHI level into practice and observing prudent pesticide use with reference to safe brinjal production.

AFETIVIDADE, FILIAÇÃO E ACESSO À JUSTIÇA: A EXTRAJUDICIALIDADE COMO CAMINHO PARA A EFETIVAÇÃO DE DIREITOS
Authors: Dos Santos Scarlett Walewska
Published: September 2023

O presente artigo analisa a correspondência entre as transformações sociais recentes e a recepção da afetividade como núcleo da formação de vínculos na modernidade para uma ressignificação do conceito de filiação, construída pela doutrina e pela jurisprudência para consagrar os laços subjetivos que constroem a chamada filiação socioafetiva. Paralelamente, são tecidas reflexões a respeito da necessidade do reconhecimento formal dessas relações jurídicas, as quais, diante da evolução da ideia de acesso à justiça, podem ter na extrajudicialidade um importante meio para efetivação destes direitos.

Published: September 2023

The high health risks of working as fishermen increase the potential for health seeking behavior of fishermen. Health seeking behavior is also applied by the Puger community, which is a southern coastal area in Jember Regency, although based on a preliminary study not a few of them ignore their health problems. This type of research is a quantitative research with a cross sectional approach. A sample of 110 respondents was taken by simple random sampling from a population of 5247 fishermen and domiciled in Mandaran Hamlet and Krajan Hamlet, Puger Wetan Village, Puger District, Jember Regency. The resulting data were tested using logistic regression. The result showed that trust has a significant effect with p <α value of 0.000 <0.05. Someone who has a belief in modern medicine tends to have a 21.333 greater influence in determining treatment seeking behavior compared to respondents who have a belief in traditional medicine. Suggestions need to be explored more deeply in each type of belief in fisherman's health seeking behavior using qualitative methods.and health promotion on safe treatment seeking behavior for fisherman's health.
Effect of Stinging Nettle Leaf Flour Substitution on the Quality Characteristics of Fermented Corn Complementary Foods
Authors: Tanyitiku Mary Nkongho , Petcheu Igor Casimir Njombissie
Published: September 2023

Proper complementary feeding is required to provide essential nutrients to growing infants. However, most families in developing countries are severely food insecure, leading to constant child malnutrition. This study developed fermented corn complementary foods (pap) supplemented with abundantly available and affordable stinging nettles. Stinging nettle leaf flour was incorporated into pap at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% and evaluated in relation to nutritional, functional, and sensory properties. Soybeans were used to compare the nutritional and health benefits of nettles in infant nutrition. A gradual incorporation of nettle leaf flour increased (p<0.05) the ash, protein, and dietary fibre content of pap from 0.72%, 3.48% and 2.87% to 9.46%, 18.98% and 4.56% respectively. Likewise, nettle-enriched pap contained higher carotenoids (4.99mg/100g), vitamin C (48.76mg/100g), calcium (176.49mg/100g), phosphorus (35.21mg/100g), potassium (210.54mg/100g), and iron (284.55mg/100g) than soybean-enriched pap: 0.96, 4.40, 50.99, 29.29, 204.78 and 64.02mg/100g respectively. While total phenolic content and antioxidant activity index increased (p<0.05) with increasing addition of nettle leaf flour from 1.23mgGAE/g and 0.15 to 125.45mgGAE/g and 2.01 respectively, the metabolic glycaemic response decreased (p<0.05) from 68.53% to 35.60%. In addition, all functional qualities were within acceptable limits for complementary feeding. Nursing mothers rated the overall acceptability between 7.14 (5% nettle-enriched pap) and 6.23 (20% nettle-enriched pap), and 12 of these 20 mothers accepted to feed their babies with stinging nettle leaf flour. Our findings indicated that stinging nettle leaves are nutritionally important for improving low-cost complementary feeding and thus could contribute to the combat of infant malnutrition in rural communities.
Chalk or Eocene echinoids? Implications of a chance observation
Authors: Donovan S.K.
Published: September 2023

Accurate and complete data concerning provenance, both locality and horizon, of geological specimens is naturally considered essential by curators, researchers and other collectors. But, accidentally, specimens can end up with the wrong information. Two 'chalk' echinoids purchased by the author in the Isle of Wight are actually Cenozoic; one, probably both, is Eocene and from the Caribbean region, most likely, the southeastern USA. Accidents happen, as these specimens would have sold for more if correctly labelled. An expert second opinion on the provenance of purchased specimens is never wasted....

Este estudo buscou avaliar a distribuição espacial da mortalidade por suicídio em homens nos municípios do Nordeste do Brasil, no período 2015-2019, e correlação desta com indicadores sociodemográficos. Calcularam-se taxas de mortalidade por 100 mil homens, suavizadas por meio do estimador bayesiano empírico. Avaliou-se a correlação espacial das taxas de mortalidade por meio do índice de Moran Global e Local, e a correlação das taxas de mortalidade com os indicadores sociodemográficos. O mapeamento e as análises foram realizados nos softwares Geoda, consideraram-se estatisticamente significativos valores de p<0,05. Identificaram-se clusters de altos coeficientes de suicídios em municípios do semiárido do Piauí, Ceará e Rio Grande do Norte. Verificou-se correlação espacial da mortalidade por suicídio nos municípios do Nordeste (I Moran=0,54, p=0,001). Verificaram-se dois padrões de correlação significativa entre as variáveis sociodemográficas estudadas e as taxas de mortalidade por suicídios masculinos. Houve correlação positiva entre IFDM e taxas de suicídios por 100 mil homens, nos municípios do Ceará que se estendem até a porção oeste de Pernambuco, no Rio Grande do Norte e Paraíba.  E correlação negativa no sul do Piauí, centro-sul do Maranhão e municípios do oeste baiano, com fronteira com os municípios do Piauí. Medidas de prevenção e controle ao suicídio devem ser direcionadas para estas localidades, de modo a identificar os fatores de risco e proteção correlacionados a esta realidade.

Durante a formação inicial daqueles que fazem uma Licenciatura surgem muitas indagações, especialmente relacionados à Educação Infantil. No caso dos licenciandos em Educação Física e Pedagogia evidencia-se o fato de que a ludicidade não tem sido contemplada como deveria na Educação Infantil, além de haver questionamentos sobre quem deveria organizar esse momento: o professor de Educação Básica ou o professor de Educação Física? Esse estudo tem como objetivo debater essa temática, buscando historicamente algumas das possíveis causas para essas dúvidas. Caracterizado como um estudo qualitativo, utilizamos a metodologia de revisão bibliográfica para tratarmos da História da Educação e Educação Física no Brasil, além de abordar estudos sobre o jogo e a brincadeira. Foi possível concluir que a criança na Educação Infantil tem como particularidade básica a necessidade de se movimentar e sendo assim, é de fundamental relevância considerar uma concepção pedagógica que respeite a criança em seu desenvolvimento e que trabalhe os aspectos cognitivos, sociais, afetivos e motores de modo integrado. Nesse sentido, mesmo com tantas motivações históricas que nos fizeram pensar em muitos momentos que a Pedagogia e a Educação Física são áreas distintas e com profissionais diferentes, não há impedimento para que qualquer um dos dois - o professor de Educação Básica, ou o professor de Educação Física - proporcione momentos de práticas lúdicas para as crianças na Educação Infantil, o que nos leva a inferir que a responsabilidade de uma boa aula que contemple os conteúdos lúdicos é de ambos, sendo as crianças as maiores beneficiárias resultantes desse posicionamento.

A tilápia é a terceira espécie mais produzida no mundo e tem grande potencial para aumentar sua produção, no entanto as fases iniciais de produção podem ser realizadas em sistemas fechados para melhorar os índices produtivos, como sobrevivência, tempo de cultivo e oferta de alevinos durante todo o ano. Todavia, ainda carece de informações sobre densidades de produção e o manejo alimentar. Alevinos de tilápia do Nilo (Oreohromis niloticus) foram submetidos a diferentes densidades de estocagem (330 e 550 peixes/m³) e frequências alimentares (4 e 8 vezes ao dia) por um período de 49 dias, sendo avaliados os parâmetros de desempenho e composição bromatógica. Foram utilizados 480 alevinos com peso médio de 0,59g ±0,09g, distribuídos em 12 tanques de polipropileno de 90L. Os alevinos foram separados em delineamento fatorial 2x2 e alimentados até a saciedade aparente. Duas rações comerciais foram utilizadas, do 1°ao 20° dia foi utilizado uma ração extrusada de 1mm com 48% de PB e no restante utilizou-se uma ração de 1,7mm com 46% PB. A densidade de estocagem influenciou o peso final biomassa, consumo de ração, conversão alimentar, comprimento total e ganho de peso diário. A sobrevivência e o fator de condição não foram afetados pelas variáveis testadas. O índice hepatossomático foi maior em peixes alimentados 4 vezes por dia e em peixes criados em menores densidades, o rendimento de carcaça também foi menor em peixes criados em densidades mais baixa. As variáveis testadas não influenciaram a composição bromatológica dos peixes.

Access to mental health services for the carers of persons suffering from dementia in Poland – proposal for a system solution
Authors: Zając-Lamparska Ludmiła , Grabowska Alina , Gawrońska Aleksandra
Published: September 2023

Caregivers of persons suffering from dementia constitute a group displaying a great need for mental health support, while at the same time being largely neglected in terms of receiving this support. In this context, the aim of this article is to propose the Stepped Care 2.0 (S.C. 2.0) model as a mental health care systemic solution for carers of persons with dementia.In this article, we focus on presenting the argumentation that proves the need and validity of introducing the proposed mental health care model for carers of persons with dementia. For this purpose, we draw on the results of our own pilot study, as well as a review of the subject literature.As the literature review indicates, caring for individuals with dementia is a source of multidimensional burden and deterioration in well-being. Results obtained in our own study indicate that there exists a burden of care among carers of persons with dementia in Poland and their well-being is significantly lower compared to non-carers. Moreover, the results suggest that the degree of negative consequences of being a caregiver varies depending of the degree of the patient’s disability. The flexibility of support and client-centric approach assumed in the S.C. 2.0 model can provide a good response to the diverse and changing needs of the carers of persons with dementia. It can also serve as a kind of hub encompassing and organising existing forms of support for carers. Moreover, the effectiveness of the selected types of support included in this model is confirmed by existing research findings.The need for mental health support for carers of individuals with dementia is undeniable. In the light of the arguments provided, the S.C. 2.0 model is a suitable solution for the systemic organisation of such support.
SOCIAL MINIMUM LEVELS IN POLAND IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2023
Authors: Kurowski Piotr
Published: September 2023

This article summarises the estimates of the social minimum in the first quarter of 2023. Following the reported increase in modelled expenditure in the last quarter of 2022, the first quarter of 2023 brought a further increase in its values. With the CPI for the first quarter of this year relative to the first quarter of 2022 (17.0%), the values of the social minimum increased by a higher degree: from 19.8% (pensioner households) to 20.8% (single people aged up to 60). When the reference point is the fourth quarter of last year, the values of the social minimum also increased faster. With a CPI value of 4.3%, the social minimum rose from 5.2% (employee households without children and in a family with a younger child) to 6.2% (single people aged up to 60), In the first quarter of 2023, the highest dynamics were observed in expenditure on housing and ener-gy carriers: it increased from 8.1% to 8.4%, with a similar scale of increase in the CPI in this ex-penditure group (8%). Expenditure on food increased from 5.6% (parent household with a younger child) to 6.1% (pensioner households), with a slightly lower CPI (5.4%). In other groups of needs, the increase in modelled expenditure tended to be higher than inflation rates. This is most evident in the case of clothing and footwear, where the difference between the CPI and the minimum subsistence valuation exceeds 3 p.p

Published: September 2023

Sytuacja osadzenia jednego z członków rodziny jest sytuacją trudną dla całej rodziny. Oznacza bowiem nową sytuację – rozłąkę, rzeszę problemów o podłożu emocjonalnym, społecznym, ekonomicznym. Staje się wyzwaniem, którego celem zasadniczym jest podtrzymanie łączących więzi z partnerem, dziećmi, rodzicami, rodzeństwem, a w niektórych przypadkach ponowne aktywowanie kontaktów z członkami rodziny. Przedmiotem rozważań niniejszego artykułu jest rola i znaczenie kontaktów osób pozbawionych wolności z rodziną w procesie resocjalizacji, a także wskazanie na działania podejmowane przez Służbę Więzienną, których celem jest integracja rodzin. Rozpatrując bowiem problematykę efektywności kar pozbawienia wolności i powrotu do przestępczości, należy szczególną uwagę poświęcić rodzinom skazanych i więziom w nich panujących, które są kluczem do ich skutecznej resocjalizacji, warunkującym readaptację społeczną.

Published: September 2023

The need for acquisition of skills in information and communications technology among science teachers cannot be over-emphasized. Any science teacher who does not have sufficient skills in ICT may therefore not be able to cope with the 21st century demands of the teaching profession as the use of these technologies take central stage in everyday planning and delivery of teaching and learning in science classes. This study assessed the extent of acquisition of ICT skills among Basic science teachers in Kogi Central District of Kogi State, Nigeria. It adopted a descriptive survey research design. Three hundred and fifty teachers drawn through multi-stage sampling technique were used for the study. Information and communication technology skills acquisition questionnaire (ICTSAQ) was used to collect relevant data for this study. Five research questions were posed and four hypotheses were tested in the study. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation while the hypotheses were tested using t-test at .05 level of significance. The findings of this study revealed among others that the basic science teachers do not have sufficient skills in applying arithmetic operations in Microsoft excel. They do not also have sufficient skills in creating and editing power point slides as well as inserting pictures or objects in slides. It further revealed that teaching experience has no statistically significant influence on the acquisition of ICT skills among the teachers. The educational implications of the findings were discussed and adequate recommendations were also made
