Published: July 2024

Despite the crucial role of human labour in Ghana's cocoa farming sector, the industry grapples with pressing challenges that threaten its sustainability and productivity. This study considers the intricate dynamics of labour scarcity and rising costs, focusing on the Tafo District, Ghana. We specifically collected data from 100 cocoa farmers who have been farming for over 20 years in the Tafo District using the purposive sampling method, and selected 10 cocoa labourers using a snowball technique. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the data using SPSS and Excel spreadsheet. Labour scarcity, attributed to ‘galamsey' and 'okada’ activities, was acknowledged by 95% of respondents, and 84% noted high labour costs. Farmers pointed out that labour shortages affect the timing and frequency of their farm operations. With labour scarcity attributed to illegal mining and commercial motorcycle transportation, effective government intervention to regulate these activities in agricultural areas will be required.

Quả chanh dây tím được ngâm trong dung dịch SNP (0,5 mM; 0,75 mM và 1,0 mM) trong 10 phút, và công thức đối chứng (ĐC) được ngâm trong nước cùng một thời gian. Sau khi xử lý, quả được bảo quản ở điều kiện lạnh 5 ± 1°C; RH = 80 - 90%. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy, xử lý SNP 1,0 mM trong 10 phút có tác dụng làm chậm cường độ hô hấp và sản sinh ethylene, giảm sự biến đổi màu sắc của vỏ quả so với mẫu ĐC. Xử lý SNP đã ngăn chặn hiệu quả sự thay đổi tỷ lệ hư hỏng, hao hụt khối lượng và một số chỉ tiêu hàm lượng chất rắn hòa tan, hàm lượng acid tổng số, hàm lượng vitamin C và hàm lượng phenolic tổng số của quả chanh dây tím vẫn được duy trì đáng kể trong quá trình bảo quản. Ứng dụng xử lý SNP là một phương pháp có hiệu quả cao nhằm làm chậm quá trình chín cũng như kéo dài thời gian bảo quản chanh dây tím đến 33 ngày bảo quản.

Educational Intervention Effect on Nurses’ Knowledge of Glasgow Coma Scale for Neurological Patient Assessment in Tertiary Hospitals in Edo State, Nigeria
Authors: Ehwarieme Timothy , Esewe Roselynd , Emina Anwuli 
Published: July 2024

Context: Nigeria reports increasing cases of neurological patients requiring close monitoring using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Although nurses are key health personnel managing these patients, evidence suggests they lack knowledge of the GCS and neurological assessment.
Aim: This study assessed the effect of an educational intervention on nurses' knowledge of GCS for neurological patients’ assessment in selected tertiary hospitals in Edo State, Nigeria.
Methods: This is a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group, pre-post-test research design. The sample consisted of 98 nurses purposely selected from the neurological wards of the selected hospitals. A researcher-developed self-report questionnaire with a reliability Cronbach's alpha index of 0.832. Data analysis used descriptive and inferential statistics at the 5% significance level.
Results: Knowledge of GCS increased from a (0%) pre-test to 29(60.4%) very good knowledge level post-test one and 15(31.3%) post-test two, whereas the control group had 0% throughout the three periods. Significant differences (p 0.000) over the assessment times were found in the intervention group. The post hoc test revealed statistically significant differences between pre-test versus post-test one/and post-test two. A chi-square analysis of association showed no association between socio-demographic characteristics and level of knowledge on GCS among participants pre and post-intervention for both study groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: This study has convincingly demonstrated the effectiveness of the developed educational intervention package in improving nurses' knowledge of the GCS. The self-instructional format offers an appealing approach to promoting self-directed learning among nurses. This approach can empower nurses to confidently assess patients using the GCS, interpret scores accurately, and apply their knowledge in clinical practice.

Overall, the research contributes to understanding the complexities of Filipino identity and resilience in contemporary society as portrayed in literature.

The method used in this research is quantitative, with a population of millennial people in Banten Province who have consumed halal products, with a sample of 170 respondents, and the data collection technique using a questionnaire. The data was processed using Smart PLS 3.2.9 software and analyzed using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method with a partial least square (PLS) approach. The results of this study indicate that attitude and perceived controlled behavior have a significant positive effect on the purchase intention behavior of halal products, while subjective norms and trust have no effect on the purchase intention behavior of halal products.
