The main objective of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status and academic performance among primary 3 pupils in Kandahar Primary School in MajiDadi B ward in Bauchi metropolis. Kandahar ward was purposely selected because the area is known for poor academic achievement among primary school pupils year after year. The school record of academic performance of the children was obtained with the help of three assistant. Other socio-demographics used were sex where the female and male ratio was 60%:40% and age of the pupils. The research design used in this study was a correlational research design. The total number of primary 3 school pupils used in this study was 200. From this population, sample of 50 primary 3 pupils representing 25% of the target population was used in this study, based on simple random sampling technique. The instrument for data collection used in the study was measuring or attitude scale using height and weight of the children. Simple percentage and Pearson product moment correlation coefficient were used for analyzing the research questions. The result revealed that 30 males and 20 females were assessed and summary of the outcome shows that, 50% have normal growth pattern 30% are moderately stunted. It also reveals that children within the age of 8- 10 years are mostly affected. The finding in this study also reveals a strong relationship between nutritional status and academic performance of children which implies poor state of under-nutrition among the pupils who by these findings are liable to poor health outcome and compromise cognitive abilities.

Published: October 2023

This study presents the findings of an assessment conducted to determine the levels of heavy metals and mineral ions in borehole water used in the Port Harcourt oil refinery host communities. The study area comprised six selected communities located in the vicinity of the oil refinery in Rivers State, Nigeria. Water samples were collected from various boreholes in each community and analyzed for heavy metal concentrations and mineral ion content within the World Health Organisation (WHO) and National Standard for Drinking water Quality (NSDWQ) standard. The results revealed significant variations in heavy metal and mineral ion levels across the selected communities, with some areas exhibiting elevated concentrations of lead, arsenic, and cadmium. These heavy metals are known to pose health risks to humans, even at low concentrations, and raise concerns about the safety of the borehole water for consumption and agricultural use. It is highly recommended that borehole water in Port Harcourt Refinery be properly and routinely investigated as well as other water parameters checked. And Nigerian government in partnership with Non-governmental organization should conduct water security mapping to help identify vulnerable areas (communities) where there is high water stress such that the areas are given priority in borehole allocation
Understanding The Parable of Unjust Steward in Luke 16:1-13 in the Context of Nigeria Politicians and Some Church Leaders
Authors: ADETUNJI Emmanuel
Published: October 2023

The parable of the unjust steward in Luke 16:1-13 is well known for its vexing exegetical difficulties. Who is the kyrios of v. 8? Why would he praise a dishonest steward? How could Jesus possibly hold the steward up as an example for his followers? What is the relationship of verses 8b-13 to the rest of the parable? Traditionally Luke 16:1-13 has been understood as portraying a steward who cheats his master but who is commended for his wisdom, a quality to be imitated by Christ's disciples in their use of material possessions in light of the coming eschatological kingdom. But the difficulties in the parable have elicited variety of challenges to this consensus. In answer to the question of how a master could praise a dishonest steward, some scholars have postulated on socioeconomic grounds that the steward's actions were not really unjust at all and that he was merely releasing his commission. Others have seen the parable as a clear case of irony or have appealed to textual emendation or mistranslations of an Aramaic original. Furthermore most scholars deny that vv. 8b-13 have anything to do with the original Parable and that the parable has anything to do with wealth. This paper examines Nigerians politicians that looted the treasury yet some of our fathers in the Lord instead of rebuking them after they have destroyed the Economy they still praise and celebrate them as national Heroes. The paper concludes that it is not a crime to be wealthy but it must be acquired in a godly way and should be used to assist the poor and to propagate the kingdom of God on earth.

Published: October 2023

Studies on two species of Pleurotus (P. ostreatus and P. eryngii) fruiting potentials within the dry and rainy seasons were carried out in the Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology, Rivers State University. Both species (P. ostreatus; P1 and P. eryngii; P2) were grown on hard wood (HW) and soft wood (SW) sawdusts from Mitragyna tree and Xylopia tree at 600g during the dry (D) and rainy (R) seasons. The sawdusts were supplemented with 100g of rice bran and 1g of Rhizophora wood ash. Eight treatments were established based on the interactions of the species to the substrates and seasons viz: P1SWR, P1HWR, P2SWR, P2HWR, P1SWD, P1HWD, P2SWD and P2HWD. Fruiting potential was assessed based on the mean harvest weight and was done for five weeks. P1HWD recorded highest mean weight (33.11g) during the dry season while P1HWR had highest mean weight (33.54g) for week1 harvest. P2 recorded no harvest at the first week. Highest mean weight of 21.72g and 24.61g were observed for P2SWD and P1SWR respectively for the second week of harvest. Week 3 harvest revealed P1SWD and P2SWR with the highest mean weights (14.05g and 23.07g) respectively. Within the fourth week of harvest, P2SWD (5.34g) and P2HWR (17.36g) recorded highest mean weights compared to other treatments. At the fifth week of harvest, highest mean values (10.67g and 17.04g) were seen for P2SWD and P2HWR respectively. Generally, P1 had more fruiting potential than P2 as its treatments fruited in all the weeks of harvest. Soft wood sawdust during the rainy season favoured higher yield than hardwood sawdust during the dry season.

The study discovered that educated women serve as stabilizing factor in national development and recommended ‘cultural rebirth, smart economic, new education content and soft competition technique’ as the approach that will grant women the needed equity in national development in Nigeria.
Issues in Intra-African Migration: Juxtaposing Natural Law Theory with Xenophobia in Africa
Authors: Amasiatu Ifunanya
Published: October 2023

Central to the discourses on xenophobia in Africa is inter-state migration of both skilled and unskilled citizens. Within the African continent, this scenario of movements translates to intra- African migration. This has been an age long experience in Africa and is inevitable because no nation is absolutely self-sufficient. Furthermore, it has been a general rule of international law that states reserve the right to admit or not to admit aliens into their territory. This presupposes that international law does not impose any limit on the right to admit or not to admit aliens, subject to obligations expressly undertaken by states. All the same, in contemporary Africa, intra-continental migrants have become very vulnerable to human rights’ violations in the trajectories of xenophobic attacks. The omens of such confrontations in intra-African relations are frightening and highlight issues that seem to contradict natural law. Therefore, this article aims at placing the natural law theory side by side with xenophobia on the African soil in order to squarely interrogate the embedded issues and proffer germane solutions.

Published: October 2023

The assessment of natural radionuclide concentration in kaolin deposits and dose rate within Delta state, Nigeria has been carried out. Four kaolin mining sites within four Local Government Areas in the state were studied. Background Ionizing Radiation levels of each of the mining site was measured using a Gamma Scout handheld radiation meter and a GPS meter used to obtain the actual positions where the BIR levels were taken around each kaolin site. A total of twenty-five (25) samples were collected for Gamma spectrometry analysis at National Institute of Radiation Protection and Research, University of Ibadan. The mean BIR exposure rates for Ukwuani, Aniocha South, Ughelli North and Ughelli South LGAs were 0.01mRh -1 , 0.013mRh -1 , 0.013mRh -1 and 0.014mRh -1 respectively and were within the world’s recommended permissible limit of 0.013mRh -1 given by UNSCEAR. The mean activity concentrations of 238 U, 232 Th and 40 K in kaolin samples were estimated to be 137.028 ± 7.194, 13.532 ± 1.568 and 6.724 ± 0.396 Bqkg -1 respectively for Ukwuani; 425.494 ± 22.16, 18.63 ± 2.17 and 11.955 ± 0.71 Bqkg -1 respectively for Ughelli South; 596 ± 30.772, 18.728 ± 2.124 and 8.912 ± 0.526 Bqkg -1 respectively for Ughelli North and finally, 120.026 ± 6.235, 10.533 ± 1.182 and 15.024 ± 0.879 Bqkg -1 respectively for Aniocha South. These results compare quite well with the world’s average value of activity concentrations for natural radionuclides reported by UNSCEAR, except for 40 K which is higher than the world’s average at Ughelli North and South. The values of all the radiological hazard parameters for all the mining sites are less than the recommended limits. The calculated Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk also reveal that the values are all within the recommended limits, therefore, the risk of cancer inducement due to radiation exposure is within the acceptable limits for all the mining sites.

Measurement of radionuclides and their impact on the environment around asphalt plants in some selected Asphalt mixing plant within Delta State, Nigeria was carried out. The Background Ionizing Radiation and the GPS of the location was measured using a well calibrated Gamma scout; Geiger counter multi-radiation meter and a GARMIN GPS meter and the result obtained at Raycon, DLA and Neodede Hot Asphalt Mixing Plants for outdoor exposure, shows a total mean value of (0.01492±0.038) (mRh-1), (0.01497±0.037) (mRh-1) and (0.01413±0.014) (mRh-1) respectively. The total mean values obtained in the selected radiological centers were all above the world average BIR level of 0.013 (mR?-1) as recommended by UNSCEAR (2000). These results were used to calculate some hazard indices such as the Equivalent dose (ED) in mSv??1, the absorbed dose rate (ADR) in nGy??1, Annual Effective Dose Equivalent (AEDE) and Excess Life Cancer Risk (ELCR). All the values obtained for each Parameter were above the world permissible limits as given by UNSCEAR (2000). The average activity concentration of 40K, 238U and 232Th in the soil of the three study areas were (603.21±30.94) Bq/Kg, (5.70 ±0.678) Bq/Kg and (6.91 ± 0.405) Bq/Kg. For 40K the average activity concentration was high and above the world recommended limit of 420 Bq/Kg (UNSCEAR 2000). 238U and 232Th were below the world recommended limits which are 33 Bq/Kg and 45 Bq/Kg. respectively. The Activity Concentration results were used to calculate the following radiological parameters: Absorbed gamma dose rate (DR) in (nGy/h), Annual Effective Dose Equivalent AEDE in (?Svy-1), the Radium Equivalent (Raeq), Excess Life Cancer Risk (ELCR) and External Hazard Index. All the calculated radiological Values were above the recommended limit given by (UNSCEAR 2000). Water samples in the study areas was also collected and the average activi

Published: October 2023

The study compared the gender differences perceived by teachers and students on the current Science Technology Engineering Agriculture Mathematics (STEAM) practices in Philippine Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs). It is assumed in this study that STEAM fields are often male-dominated, and STEAM courses are less attractive to female students. A descriptive survey was used in this study. Data were collected from a validated questionnaire. Teachers of STEAM disciplines (n=1,016), and students (n=24,172) were selected using multi-stage random sampling. Purposive sampling was used in selecting CHED higher education institutions centers of excellence in selected regions. Means and t-tests were computed in analyzing the data using a statistical tool. Findings revealed that male and female students are significantly different in the perception of the program objectives and program outcomes, faculty, program curricula, instructional materials, procedures and techniques, assessment and evaluation, and administrative support and policies. Male and female teachers similarly perceived the factors except for some in specific STEAM fields. The research suggests that gender disparity could be minimized in STEAM degrees by implementing gender policies.

Comprehension Concerns: Signs and Signals for Improving a School-based Reading Intervention
Authors: Heguerra Alyssa , Cacho Reynald
Published: October 2023

This qualitative case study explores the school-based reading intervention in a public elementary school by analyzing how the reading teachers viewed the intervention's program objectives, assessed learners' reading levels, employed reading strategies, and utilized reading materials. Through the narrative analyses of interview data coupled with triangulation of observation notes and program artifacts, it was found that the teachers' reading objectives and strategies focused mainly on the development of word reading skills while providing little to no attention to the improvement of comprehension skills. Also, piloted teacher-made and adapted materials may be more beneficial if subjected to further testing and review to be grade-level appropriate and diverse learner sensitive. The reading teachers' illustrative cases, lack of literacy-relevant resources, effective strategy, and assessment in this study may inform school stakeholders, drivers, and the school intervention program for an all-out engagement towards a well-programmed road promoting literacy for all at the school level.

Published: October 2023

Women's involvement in community activities is common in university-designed extension programs. This paper explores the life stories of women who believed there were changes in their quality of life and relationships with their families and other women as a result of participating in these activities. Focusing on producing gourmet gourami (bottled fish), a focus-group discussion was conducted among nine women-volunteers in a rural community in Quezon, Philippines. The academic and community collaboration produced women who perceived themselves as equals to their partners and advocates for change. This translational process from theory to practice was seen as helpful by the participants and led to motivating others to participate. The research may be a platform for stakeholders, especially academicians and policy-makers, to consider concentrating on how university-learned ideals and knowledge can be beneficial for community members.
Gay Man or Transwoman: A Metaethical Discourse on Gender and Sexuality
Authors: Soberano Israel Joseph
Published: October 2023

It can be surmised that the Philippines in the 21st-century is headed towards the direction of accepting those who do not classify themselves in one of the gender binaries and those who do not believe that heteronormativity is the natural sexual orientation. The goal of this study is to inquire whether this is the case as there are some people who tend to display their natural contempt for the members of LGBTQIA+ community as in the case of Manny Pacquiao apologizing for the remarks that he had made about homosexual acts sans the willingness to reflect and change their biases for the sake of religion. I would like to show how the principles of meta-ethics, which is a branch of ethics that deals with the nature of ethical assertions, can be applied to the discourses on gender and sexuality and their implications to education by doing thematic analysis.

Authors: Lepez Carlos Oscar , Simeoni Irene Amelia
Published: October 2023

University tutoring has gradually become a topic of interest for higher educational institutions, given the need to provide students with new learning opportunities in which they are the main actors. Academic performance and disengagement from university life are seen as emerging problems that require the implementation of measures, especially at the university entrance stage. Planning for the implementation of peer tutoring is not easy, and several factors will have to be considered, ranging from the management of the institution to involve all the educational actors, to the continuous evaluation and improvement of the planning itself. It is expected that the results of the peer tutoring project will generate contributions to the student’s learning process, such as the development of their own skills on the subject, and other competencies that can be developed through practical experience. As well as to know the scenarios and methodologies used that, according to the student tutors’ point of view, benefit and/or hinder them in their teaching-learning processes. The use of a methodology that combines in-depth interviews and questionnaires will provide significant knowledge for individual experiences, as well as more general ones, so that it is expected to know the tutor’s role from different points of view, having a comprehensive view of it. In this way, it will be possible to identify and systematize the contributions and/or obstacles that may arise in the implementation of the program

Estética contingente de habitar la invasión
Authors: Cuesta José Manuel
Published: October 2023

El siguiente texto es una reflexión sobre los procesos de invasión de Valladito en el distrito Agua Blanca de Cali desde 1994, el uso de materiales de construcción, la organización de los espacios familiares y la explotación de recursos. El lugar y la vivienda se relacionan intimamente a través del ser y habitar, es así como la población desarrolla una relación emocional y afectiva (sentimental), que se adhiere a los lugares desde los que se siente identificada, creando un sentido de pertenencia. 

Sin embargo si nos referimos exclusivamente al espacio habitado estaríamos en una simple relación. Eso hace que surjan ciertas preguntas, como ¿cual es la relación sensible entre el lugar y los objetos que hay allí? ¿cuál es el efecto de Habitar en relación a la estética de la invasión?

Instalados en los sensible, experimentamos ante la contemplación de lo unitario una alegría dolorosa, un entusiasmo que deriva en melancolía y ganas de ser, de ver, de aunarse, una pena que encuentra su origen y reposo lejos del cuerpo.
