Cheese, a nutrient-dense dairy food is very rich in protein and calcium. Salting during cheese production is an important step because its concentration is the major factor that influences the organoleptic quality especially flavour. In order to accommodate increasing demands for reduced-sodium cheese without compromising palatability and safety, it is therefore imperative to assess the effect of different salt levels that will produce good quality cheese. Raw milk was obtained from Gudali, Mali and Burkina cows at the Cattle and Dairy Research Station-Bodi, Ashanti, Ghana. There were five treatments and each consists of 1000 mL of milk, 2.5 mL of juice from Calotropis procera as coagulant and graded levels of salt (0, 4, 8, 12, 16g). Cheese was produced using standard procedure. Yield (%), proximate composition (%) mineral contents (sodium, chlorine, calcium, phosphorus) and texture profile analysis (adhesiveness, chewiness, cohesiveness elasticity, firmness, gumminess resilience was assessed on freshly prepared cheese. The result revealed that cheese pH slightly increased as salt concentration increased. The moisture of T (59.47) and T (58.70) 2 3 were not significantly (P>0.05) different but these were different from T (54.67), T (56.60), 1 4 T (50.37). The crude protein contents of T (16.36) and T (15.68) were significantly higher 5 3 1 (P<0.05) than T2 (13.90), T4 (10.77) and T5 (10.32). The fat contents of T4 (14.41) and T5 (17.28) were significantly higher (P<0.05) compared with others. The yield (33.64) and calcium content (1.49) of T and phosphorus content (2.35) of T were significantly higher 3 5 (P<0.05) than others. The texture profile analysis indicated that the adhesiveness, cohesiveness and resilience of cheese T and T were significantly lower (P<0.05); while the 4 5 chewiness, elasticity, firmness and gumminess of T and T were significantly higher 4 5 (P<0.05). The study revealed that cheese with salt inclusion level of 8g (T ) possesses the 3 characteristics of a good quality cheese.
Le fromage, un aliment laitier riche en nutriments, est très riche en protéines et en calcium. Le salage lors de la fabrication du fromage est une étape importante car sa concentration est le facteur majeur qui influence la qualité organoleptique en particulier la saveur. Afin de répondre à la demande croissante de fromages à faible teneur en sodium sans compromettre l'appétence et la sécurité, il est donc impératif d'évaluer l'effet des différents niveaux de sel qui produiront un fromage de bonne qualité. Le lait cru a été obtenu à partir de vaches Gudali, Mali et Burkina à la Bovin et Station de recherche laitière-Bodi, Ashanti, Ghana. Il y avait cinq traitements et chacun se compose de 1000 ml de lait, 2,5 ml de jus de Calotropisprocera comme coagulant et des niveaux gradués de sel (0, 4, 8, 12, 16 g). Le fromage a été produit en utilisant une procédure standard. L'analyse du rendement (%), de la composition approximative (%) des teneurs en minéraux (sodium, chlore, calcium, phosphore) et du profil de texture (adhésivité, mastication, cohésion, élasticité, fermeté, résistance à la gomme a été évaluée sur du fromage fraîchement préparé. Le résultat a révélé que le pH du fromage légèrement augmenté avec l'augmentation de la concentration en sel. L'humidité de T2 (59,47) et T3 (58,70) n'étaient pas significativement différentes (P>0,05) mais elles étaient différentes de T1 (54,67), T4 (56,60), T5 (50,37). les teneurs en protéines de T3 (16,36) et T1 (15,68) étaient significativement plus élevées (P<0,05) que celles de T2 (13,90), T4 (10,77) et T5 (10,32) Les teneurs en graisses de T4 (14,41) et T5 (17,28) étaient significativement plus élevé (P<0,05) par rapport aux autres. Le rendement (33,64) et la teneur en calcium (1,49) de T3 et la teneur en phosphore (2,35) de T5 étaient significativement plus élevés (P<0,05) que les autres. L'analyse du profil de texture a indiqué que le l'adhésivité, la cohésion et la résilience des fromages T4 et T5 étaient significativement plus faibles (P<0,05 ); tandis que la mastication, l'élasticité, la fermeté et la gomme des T4 et T5 étaient significativement plus élevées (P < 0,05). L'étude a révélé que le fromage avec un taux d'inclusion de sel de 8g (T3) possède les caractéristiques d'un fromage de bonne qualité.

Introduction: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programmes include pre-operative, intraoperative and post-operative clinical pathways to improve quality of patient care while reducing length of stay (LOS) and readmission. This study assessed the feasibility and outcomes of an ERAS protocol for colorectal surgery implemented over 2 years in a small, resource-challenged rural hospital. Methods: A prospective cohort study used retrospectively matched controls to assess the effect of ERAS on LOS in patients undergoing colorectal surgery in a small rural hospital in northern Ontario, Canada. ERAS patients were matched to two patients in the control group based on diagnosis, age and gender. Patients had open or laparoscopic colorectal surgeries, with those in the intervention group treated per ERAS protocol and given instructions on pre- and post-operative self-care. Results: Most of the 47 ERAS patients recruited to the study reported adherence to ERAS protocols before surgery. Adherence to protocol was strongest for chewing gum in the days after surgery. Most patients were sitting in a chair for their afternoon meal by the 1st day and most were walking down the hallway by the 2nd day. The control group had significantly higher (P < 0.001) malignant neoplasm of the colon (C18, 69% vs. 35%) and significantly lower malignant neoplasm of the rectum (C20, 0% vs. 5%). The control group had an average ln-transformed LOS that was significantly longer (exponentiated as 1.7 days) than ERAS patients (t-test, P < 0.001). Conclusion: This study found that ERAS could be implemented in a small rural hospital and provided evidence for a reduced LOS of approximately 2 days. Introduction: Les programmes de réhabilitation améliorée après chirurgie (RAAC) comprennent des itinéraires cliniques préopératoires, peropératoires et postopératoires visant à améliorer la qualité des soins aux patients tout en réduisant la durée du séjour et les réadmissions. Cette étude a évalué la faisabilité et les résultats d’un protocole de RAAC pour la chirurgie colorectale mis en œuvre pendant deux ans dans un petit hôpital rural aux ressources limitées. Méthodes: Une étude de cohorte prospective a utilisé des témoins appariés pour évaluer l’effet de la RAAC sur la durée du séjour des patients subissant une chirurgie colorectale dans un petit hôpital rural du nord de l’Ontario, au Canada. Les patients RAAC ont été appariés à deux patients du groupe témoin sur la base du diagnostic, de l’âge et du sexe. Les patients ont subi une chirurgie colorectale ouverte ou laparoscopique, et ceux du groupe d’intervention ont été traités selon le protocole de RAAC et ont reçu des instructions sur les soins auto-administrés pré et postopératoires. Résultats: La plupart des 47 patients RAAC recrutés pour l’étude ont déclaré adhérer aux protocoles de RAAC avant l’intervention chirurgicale. L’adhésion au protocole a été la plus forte pour la gomme à mâcher dans les jours qui ont suivi l’opération. La plupart des patients étaient assis sur une chaise pour le repas de l’après-midi dès le premier jour et la plupart marchaient dans le couloir dès le deuxième jour. Le groupe témoin présentait un taux significativement plus élevé (P < 0,001) de néoplasme malin du côlon (C18, 69% contre 35%) et un taux significativement plus faible de néoplasme malin du rectum (C20, 0% contre 5%). Le groupe de contrôle avait une durée moyenne de séjour transformée en Ln significativement plus longue (exponentielle de 1,7 jours) que les patients RAAC (test t, P < 0,001). Conclusion: Cette étude a montré que la RAAC pouvait être mise en œuvre dans un petit hôpital rural et a fourni des preuves d’une réduction de la durée de séjour d’environ deux jours.

Determining the tools and equipment use in Radio Television and Global System Mobile Servicing at Vocational Centers in Gombe State, Nigeria, was the major goal of the study. The study used a descriptive survey research approach and was carried out in Gombe State, Nigeria. 55 respondents made up the study's population, including 42 teachers and 13 administrators (principals). There was no sampling because the population was of a manageable size, hence the entire population was employed for the study. A structured questionnaire called the "Tools and Equipment Utilization Questionnaire (TEUQ)" was the instrument used to gather the data. The instrument was evaluated by three professionals, and Cronbach Alpha yielded a reliability value of 0.72. The mean statistics were utilized to answer the research questions, and the null hypotheses were tested using a t-test with a 0.05 threshold of significance. Equipment in RTV and GSM servicing trade workshops at the Vocational Training Centers in Gombe State, including workstations, multimeters-digital, multimeters-analog, Booster meters, white lights, various phone panels, Tornados (soft wire boxes), television training modules, probe/logic pulsar, oscilloscopes, pattern generators, picture tube testers, isolation transformers, vector scopes, signal strength meters, black and white television, colored television, and TV. The study also showed that the tools used in the RTV and GSM servicing Trade workshop at the Vocational Training Centers in Gombe State, including (Set of flat Screwdrivers, (large, medium, and small), Asterics, a Set of Allen keys, Set of Star Screwdrivers, Set of Spanners and Soldering Iron) is sufficient. It was suggested that in order for the schools to succeed, the Gombe State Ministry of Education should supply them with the necessary training materials and apparatus. Additionally, the government has to provide all trainers with greater technical training so they can use new technology in the workshop.

The study's primary goal was to evaluate the methodological skills required by instructors in Radio Television and Global System Mobile Servicing in Vocational Centers in Gombe State, Nigeria. The study used a descriptive survey research approach and was carried out in Gombe State, Nigeria. 55 respondents made up the study's population, including 42 teachers and 13 principals. There was no sampling because the population was of a manageable size, hence whole-population-sampling technique was employed for the study. The structured questionnaire "Questionnaire on the Appraisal of Skills Required by Instructors (QASRI)" designed by the researchers served as the instrument for data collection. The instrument was validated by three professionals, and Cronbach Alpha yielded a reliability value of 0.72. The mean statistics were utilized to answer the research questions, and the null hypotheses were tested using the t-test at a significance threshold of 0.05. According to the statistics, 51.2% of the respondents in Nigeria meet the minimal teaching standards, while 41.8% do not. Additionally, the study found that although teachers in the Radio Television and Global System Mobile Service trade in Vocational Centers in Gombe State, Nigeria, has some abilities in the profession, much more is still needed. It was suggested that the Gombe State Ministry of Education make sure that instructors appointed to vocational centers are well qualified and hold at least the Nigerian minimum for instructors. Additionally, the government should provide on-the-job training for instructors at vocational centers so they may develop more technical skills for efficient teaching and learning.

Background: Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase and decreases the synthesis of prostaglandins. Diclofenac tablet is one of the commonly used NSAID marketed in Gombe metropolis. Objectives: The study is aimed at assessing the quality of different brands of diclofenac tablets (50 mg) sold at Pharmacies and Patent medicine shops (PMS). Method: Ten diclofenac tablet brands were obtained from registered Pharmacy shops and labelled “A to J” while ten brands from PMS were labelled “K to T”. The quality of the tablets was evaluated using official and non-official parameters such as uniformity of weight; thickness; diameter; crushing strength (CS); friability (FR); disintegration time (DT), wetting time, dissolution testing and tablet content uniformity. Results: Brands A, E, J from Pharmacies and K, N, Q, R from PMS had mean CS within the range of 4-7 kgF. Others had CS > 7 kgF. The FR values of all the brands except F and T were <1.0 %. All the tablet brands except Q disintegrated in <15 min. All the brands obtained from pharmacies and PMS released >75 % of the drug within 30 min except brands G and T. Conclusion: Almost all the brands were of good quality because they passed the prescribed tests. But only a few tablet brands most especially G and T that showed slightly dissimilar results when compared with the BP specifications.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
BACKGROUND: The District Health Information System (DHIS2) is a modular, cloud-based data management system designed for use in integrated health information systems. In Nigeria, it serves as the repository for routine health data, including measles. A first dose of measles is given routinely in most countries, however, for a country to include a second dose of measles in the routine immunization schedule, it must meet certain criteria set by the World Health Organization (WHO). Unfortunately, Nigeria falls into the category of countries that haven’t met the criteria. Despite this, MCV2 data can be seen on the DHIS2 platform. Data from DHIS2 also shows that Gombe State has the highest number of health facilities that reported MCV2 data at least once from 2015 to 2017.
The aim of the study was to determine the reasons for the MCV2 reporting on DHIS2 platform for Gombe State.
METHOD: We conducted a cross-sectional study among health workers in selected health facilities and LGA RI Officers at the LGA level in Gombe State. Health facility registers were reviewed, and data consistency was ascertained. We reviewed and conducted secondary data analysis of MCV2 data for Gombe State from January 2015 to December 2017.
RESULTS: Of the 22 health facilities assessed, 14 health facilities (12 public and 2 private) reported offering MCV2 during the health facility-level interviews. At the LGA level, 5 LGAs out of the 11 LGAs reported during the LGA-level interviews that a second dose of measles is part of the RI schedule in their respective LGAs. For the 6 LGAs that reported not offering a second dose of measles as part of the RI schedule, 3 LGAs identified data entry error as the possible reason for having MCV2 data in the DHSI2 platform while the remaining 3 LGAs reported that the MCV2 data in the DHIS2 platform can be attributed to recording children who didn’t receive a first dose of measles at 9 months but received at 18–23 months as second dose of measles.
CONCLUSION: Data entry error and knowledge gap on how to record measles data were identified factors responsible for MCV2 data on the DHIS2 platform. There is a need for targeted interventions towards improving the quality of RI data in Nigeria.

This study examined the students’ perception on the use of virtual learning as a new innovation of learning in tertiary institutions for global best practices in Gombe State. Two research questions guided the study and two null hypotheses were also tested. Descriptive survey design was adopted. The population comprised 350 final year and 515 penultimate students in five tertiary institutions in Gombe State. A sample size of 250 students was selected for the study using simple random sampling technique. A structured and validated questionnaire on four-point rating scale containing 48 items was used for data collection. Cronbach Alpha method was used to establish the reliability of the instrument which yielded coefficients of 0.87, 0.80, 0.68 and 0.84 for the different clusters with an overall coefficient of 0.79. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while t-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The analysis was carried out using SPSS version 23.0. Findings revealed that not all the students have access to virtual learning services, virtual learning services were not adequately available for some students of tertiary institutions especially those living in rural areas. Students’ competency in internet usage was fair and that virtual learning service delivery is constrained by a lot of factors. Therefore, it is recommended that urgent steps should be taken to provide technical resources and improvement in internet connection for ensuring uninterrupted online education in Gombe State to fulfill the education needs of tertiary institution students.

Art is everything in life, no nation or society survives without art. It can also be seen as a natural and immediate form of expression. It equips the teeming youths or the citizenry with job opportunities and reduces unemployment rate, but on the other hand, unemployment and national insecurity is drastically on the increase. This necessitated the assessment of fine and applied arts curriculum in terms of human capacity building in north eastern Nigeria. Two research questions were formulated to guide the researcher in the study. A descriptive survey research design was adopted to seek the opinion of the respondents. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 50 students and 12 lecturers from three colleges of education from three states of north eastern Nigeria, these are:- Federal College of Education (Tech) Potiskum, Yobe State, Federal College of Education (Tech) Gombe, Gombe State and College of Education Azare, Bauchi State. The total of 62 subjects was used as the population. Statistical mean was used to answer the research questions and t-test was used to analyze the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. In the findings, infrastructure and facilities are so much lacking. Some recommendations were made one of which is: there is the need for an analytical curriculum.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (FRD) as a compliance-free alternative to Class II elastics. Materials and Methods: A sample of 34 (14 female, 20 male) consecutively treated nonextraction FRD patients (12.6 years of age) were matched with a sample of 34 (14 female, 20 male) consecutively treated nonextraction Class II elastics patients (12.2 years of age) based on four pretreatment variables (ANB, L1-GoMe, SN-GoMe, and treatment duration). Pretreatment and posttreatment cephalometric radiographs were traced and analyzed using the pitchfork analysis and a vertical cephalometric analysis. t-Tests were used to evaluate group differences. Group differences were evaluated using t-tests. Results: No statistically significant differences were found in the treatment changes between the groups. There was a general trend for mesial movement of the maxilla, mandible, and dentition during treatment for both groups. The mandibular skeletal advancement and dental movements were greater than those in the maxilla, which accounted for the Class II correction. Lower incisor proclination was evident in both groups. Vertically, the maxillary and mandibular molars erupted during treatment in both groups, while lower incisors proclined. With the exception of lower molar mesial movements and total molar correction, which were significantly (P < .05) greater in the Forsus group, there were no statistically significant group differences in the treatment changes. Conclusions: The Forsus FRD is an acceptable substitute for Class II elastics for noncompliant patients.

This study focused on examining the effect of think-pair-share strategy (TPS) of teaching reading comprehension on the performance of senior secondary school students in Gombe state, Nigeria. The target population comprised all senior secondary school students in 134 public secondary schools in Gombe. Simple random sampling technique was used to select two intact classes in two secondary schools which gave a sample of 91 students were used for the study. Quasi experimental research design with pre-test post-test experimental and control group were used with 47 students in the experimental group and 44 students in the control group. Data was collected using reading comprehension test. The reading comprehension test had a reliability index of 0.81 using test rest method while analysis was run using mean, standard deviation for the research question and independent sample t-test for research hypothesis. Results showed a mean difference of 1.76 and 0.21 for experimental and control groups respectively indicating that the former group achieved a higher score when compared with their counterparts from the control group in the reading comprehension test. Hence, it was concluded that the TPS strategy used in the reading comprehension class has significantly influenced students’ performance in reading comprehension. Recommendations were that English language teachers should use the think-pair-share strategy to improve active participation of students in reading comprehension class and beyond.

De quoi parle-t-on quand on parle publiquement de la « famille » ? C’est évidemment de l’ordre social qu’il est question, des principes de sa hiérarchisation et de son mode de reproduction. C’est ce que peuvent parfois faire oublier les discussions des spécialistes de la politique familiale sur les « priorités » à accorder à tel ou tel type de famille, toujours défini en termes biologiques ou sociaux.

This study focused on efficacy of emotional intelligence technique and parental social class in fostering vocational development of secondary school students in Gombe State, Nigeria. Pretest-posttest, control group quasi-experimental design with a 2x3 factorial matrix was used in the study. Multi-stage sampling technique was used in sampling 117 participants from 3 local government areas (12 schools) in the state. The respondents were measured with validated scale of 0.79 reliability coefficient and the data obtained was analyzed using T-test and Analysis of Variance statistical analysis. Two (2) research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that there was significant difference in the vocational development of secondary school students exposed to emotional intelligence technique and those in the control group (t= 57.64; p<0.05) and there was significant difference in the vocational development of secondary school students with high, moderate and low parental social class (t= 27.51; p<0.05). In view of these findings, the study recommended that educational stakeholders should intensify their effort to organize conferences on the implications of emotional intelligence technique and parental social classes on effective re-orientation of youths towards improving vocational development.

Students with special needs are facing a number of problems which they are finding difficult to cope with. In the light of this, this study examined the coping strategies of students with special needs in Gombe State. The demographic variables of gender and type of disability were tested on the respondents’ view. The research design adopted for this study was a descriptive survey. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select 257 participants in the study. However, 216 questionnaire forms were valid for data analysis. The instrument used was entitled “Coping Strategies of Students with Special Needs Questionnaire (CSSSNQ)”. Test re-test method was used to establish the reliability of the instrument as co-efficient of 0.73 was obtained. Mean and rank order was used to answer the research questions raised, while t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were employed to test the hypotheses formulated at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that some of the coping strategies employed by these students are working hard to solve their own problems individually, accepting special needs condition as God wishes and avoiding thinking about special needs situation. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that parents of children with special needs should provide for their personal and educational needs so that they can be able to benefit from teaching/learning process; the society should give strong financial, emotional and medical supports to students with special needs to enable them to adjust effectively to school environment; the school counsellors should, on regular basis, help students with special needs with emotional support and anxiety alleviation techniques so that they can become less apprehensive about their future and be able to achieve success in their educational endeavors.

The study explores the attitudes of Agricultural Science Teachers (AST) in Gombe State secondary schools toward the use of instructional materials. The study aims to understand the factors influencing these attitudes and the extent to which teachers utilize instructional materials in their teaching practices. The study's introduction highlights the importance of teaching in the holistic development of learners and emphasizes the role of instructional materials, skills, and attitudes in effective teaching. The research identifies a gap in understanding AST attitudes toward instructional material utilization, despite its potential benefits. The purpose of the study is to assess these attitudes and objectives include determining teachers' attitudes toward the improvisation of instructional materials, identifying factors influencing these attitudes, and evaluating AST attitudes toward instructional material utilization. Through a descriptive survey research design, data was collected from 266 respondents (administrative staff and teachers) across 132 secondary schools in Gombe State. The study employs various statistical analyses, including t-tests and mean comparisons, to examine the research questions and hypotheses. Findings reveal that AST are concerned about time constraints and durability when it comes to improvising instructional materials. Factors influencing attitudes include policy formulation, corruption, students' attitudes, government support, and inadequate remuneration. Additionally, the study finds that AST utilize instructional materials to a slight extent in their teaching practices. The study recommends the implementation of professional development programs to enhance teachers' improvisation skills and strategies, collaborative efforts to address factors inhibiting instructional material use, and the development of a long-term strategy for sustained improvement in instructional material utilization.

This study investigated the effects of multimedia courseware on senior school students’ performance in linear equations involving word problems. The study employed a quasi-experimental design to explore whether or not students taught linear-equation-word-problems using the multimedia courseware can perform better than their counterparts taught using the conventional teaching methods. It also investigated gender and score-level effects of on the students' performance. The non-randomized non-equivalent groups pre-test post-test control group design involved exposing a sample of 73 second year mathematics students (39 males and 34 females) from two co-educational senior schools in Gombe, Nigeria, to two treatments (multimedia courseware and conventional teaching) a pre-test and post-test. Two instruments (Multimedia Courseware on Linear Equation Word Problems in Mathematics (MCLEWPs) and Mathematics Performance Test on Linear Equations Word Problems (MPTLEWPs)) were developed, duly validated and approved for data collection. The reliability coefficient of MPTLEWPs was found to be 0.76. The data gathered were analyzed using a t-test and Analysis of covariance at a significance level of .05. Giving to the study's findings, there was a significant difference in the performance of students taught using multimedia courseware and those taught with conventional teaching, with those taught using multimedia courseware outperforming their counterparts (t(71) = 2.19, p<0.05); a significant difference was observed between the performance of male and female students with the males taught using multimedia courseware outperforming their female counterparts (t(27) = 2.99, p<0.05); significant differences were observed among the students in the three scoring levels (high, medium, and low) with the high scorers outperforming the others (F (2,25) = 21.64, p<0.05). The study established that Multimedia courseware enhanced students' performance in linear equation involving word problems, particularly among males and high-scoring students. It is recommended that students should be engaged in learning by using multimedia courseware that is relevant and meaningful to them on a regular basis.

The growing concerns to accommodate large classroom sizes, lack of microteaching laboratory and inadequacy of time for every student to present and be properly assessed has affected the performance of students in micro-teaching in Nigeria. This therefore calls for different innovative approaches backed up by technology to ameliorate the problem. Thus, this study checked the comparative performance of undergraduate students in micro-teaching using Telegram and WhatsApp in collaborative learning settings in Gombe State, Nigeria. A sample of 282 students enrolled on Telegram and WhatsApp from Federal University Kashere and Gombe State University, respectively was purposively selected for the study. The two sampled groups were assigned into experimental group I (Telegram) and experimental group II (WhatsApp) in collaborative learning settings using a simple random sampling technique. The instruments for the study comprised of micro-teaching achievement test validated by experts in the field of educational technology and curriculum studies, where a split-half method of reliability was used to obtain a figure of 0.91 using Pearson product moment correlation. Descriptive statistics involving mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions while inferential statistics involving an independent sample t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that while the students in both Telegram and WhatsApp platforms performed better in the post-test, a significant difference was obtained in the achievement and retention of the two groups in favor of WhatsApp. It was therefore recommended that lecturers should deploy the use of Telegram and WhatsApp in collaborative learning settings to cover for large classroom sizes and lack of micro-teaching laboratory.

There has been persistent under achievement in English language examinations at secondary school level in Nigeria and researches claim that there is a strong correlation between students’ performance on one hand and teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogical skills, students’ study habit and gender on the other hand. This study, therefore investigated the impact of teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) on secondary school students’ performance in English language reading comprehension in Gombe state, Nigeria. The study adopted an ex-post facto research design with two layers of population: secondary school students and English language teachers out of which a sample of 13 English language teachers and 649 senior secondary school students were used. Three research instruments were used for data collection: Teacher’s Mastery of Pedagogical Skills Evaluation Form (TMPSEF) with 0.71 reliability index, English Language Teachers Reading Comprehension Test (ELTRCT) with 0.79 reliability index, and Students Reading Comprehension Test (SRCT) with 0.75 Reliability index. Research questions were analysed using frequency counts and percentages, while research hypothesis was tested using independent sample t-test. Findings revealed that majority of the English language teachers (69.2%) have low PCK of teaching reading comprehension, majority of the students (68.9%) have average performance in reading comprehension. Also, there is no difference in reading comprehension performance between students that have teachers with high and low PCK level.Recommendations were: English language teachers in Gombe state, Nigeria should have high pedagogical content knowledge and be ready to learn and acquire different emerging strategies in teaching reading comprehension effectively. Similarly, teacher education curriculum should be enriched to cover courses on reading comprehension pedagogical content knowledge.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate quantitatively the relationship between molar intrusion (change [Δ] maxillary first molar [U6]–palatal plane [PP]) and changes in vertical and sagittal cephalometric parameters and to determine the center of mandibular autorotation. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients diagnosed with anterior open bite and successfully treated with molar intrusion (overbite [OB] > 0 mm) were retrospectively enrolled. Lateral cephalograms taken before and after molar intrusion were used to measure changes in vertical and sagittal cephalometric parameters. The center of mandibular autorotation was calculated by measuring displacement of gonion (Go) and pogonion (Pog). Paired t-tests were used to compare variables, and linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between ΔU6-PP and other variables. Results: The mandible exhibited counterclockwise rotation after maxillary molar intrusion, which led to closure of anterior open bite. Strong linear relationships, in descending order, between ΔU6-PP and ΔOB, Δanterior facial height (AFH), Δvertical reference plane (Pog), and Δsella-nasion to Go-menton (SN-GoMe), were observed. When the maxillary molar was intruded 1 mm, OB increased by 2.6 mm, AFH decreased by 1.7 mm, Pog moved forward by 2.3 mm, and SN-GoMe decreased by 2°. The center of mandibular autorotation was located 7.4 mm behind and 16.9 mm below condylion after molar intrusion. Conclusions: The mandible exhibited counterclockwise rotation after maxillary molar intrusion; the center of mandibular autorotation was located behind and below condylion with individual variations.

La prévalence de la trypanosomose a fait l'objet d'une étude menée d'avril à juin 1991 sur des moutons et des chèvres dans les régions administratives d'Alkaleri et de Gombe (Etat de Bauchi, Nord-Nigeria). Six cent quinze animaux (258 moutons et 357 chèvres) ont été examinés au plan de l'infection trypanosomienne. Dans cet effectif, 19 moutons (7,4 %) et 18 chèvres (5,0 %) se sont révélés positifs, soit 37 animaux infectés parmi lesquels 22 par Trypanosoma vivax, 9 par T. congolense et 6 par T. brucei. Pour connaître la méthode la mieux adaptée au contrôle de la maladie chez les petits ruminants dans les conditions habituelles de leur élevage au Nigeria, les auteurs ont recherché la sensibilité de 4 méthodes couramment utilisées pour son diagnostic parasitologique. Les méthodes de concentration-centrifugation pour l'étude de l'hématocrite et la technique de l'interface leucocytaire ou "buffy coat" se sont révélées plus précises que les méthodes standard, à savoir sang frais entre lame et lamelle, et frottis mince. Etant donné la prévalence de la maladie, les moutons et les chèvres doivent être soignés aussi bien que les bovins dans la région.

The rapid change in all sectors of human endeavour disrupts the way businesses, organisations and institutions conduct their activities. In the service industry, provision of high quality service becomes the trending issue as service users increasingly becomes sophisticated. Studies have shown that provision of high quality service improves institutional image and influences level of users’ satisfaction. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of facilities management services quality on users’ satisfaction and institutional image in Gombe State University (GSU) with a view to providing evidence-based information for managerial decision. Using survey strategy, 666 questionnaires were administered, of which 458 were retrieved and used for analysis. The result show that FM service quality has statistically significant effect on institutional image (β = 0.979; t = 473.10; p < 0.05) and user satisfaction (β = 0.990; t = 1483.32; p < 0.05). The overall model performance indicated that FM service quality explained about 96% and 98% variation in institutional image and users’ satisfaction respectively. It is recommended that decision makers in higher education institutions (HEIs) should pay more attention to the management and upgrading of both core learning facilities and other support services to ensure sustained user satisfaction and institutional image.

Résumé Le Kitāb al-Aġānī (Le livre des chansons) consacre une longue notice à la vie d’Abū l-ʿAtāhiya dont l’un des fils conducteurs est peut-être la question suivante : comment le représentant le plus célèbre de la poésie ascétique a-t-il pu faire l’objet d’accusations de zandaqa aussi insistantes ? Discrète apologie du poète, le texte d’al-Iṣfahānī nous montre que la duplicité qui lui est prêtée résulte davantage de sa position paradoxale d’ascète-courtisan que de ses convictions religieuses d’ailleurs fluctuantes. Cette lecture reste une spécificité du Kitāb al-Aġānī, car les grands dictionnaires des siècles suivants s’efforcent de gommer les ambiguïtés et les incohérences d’Abū l-ʿAtāhiya, pour construire la figure qui nous est familière aujourd’hui : celle d’un homme qui, après une jeunesse dissolue, se convertit et se consacre exclusivement à appeler ses contemporains à tourner leurs actions vers la vie future.

Abstract Background To date, no study has determined if rapid followed by slow maxillary expansion (also termed ‘semi-rapid’ expansion) has the same effects on the dentofacial skeleton as rapid maxillary expansion. Objective To determine the vertical and sagittal changes in the facial skeleton during and following rapid then slow maxillary expansion (R-SME). Methods Bonded maxillary expansion appliances were used to separate the maxillae over six days by activating the midline screws twice a day. The screws were then activated three times a week until sufficient expansion was obtained (Mean: 3.4 months) and used as retainers for six months. Cephalometric measurements at the start of expansion (T1), end of expansion (T2) and end of retention (T3) were compared with paired t-tests. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to determine the associations between the expansion (dental and skeletal) and the cephalometric changes. Results The maxillae moved forward a small, but statistically significant, extent during expansion. The upper molars were extruded and the mandible ‘rotated’ downward and backward. Although the vertical height of the facial skeleton (SN/GoMe, S-Go, N-Me, ANS-Me) increased significantly during expansion, the changes were small and highly variable. Some dimensions (SN/GoMe) relapsed during retention, while others (S-Go, N-Me) increased. Conclusions Rapid then slow maxillary expansion caused a small, but statistically significant, forward movement of the upper facial skeleton, a small downward and backward rotation of the mandible and a small increase in face height. The changes were similar to those found during rapid maxillary expansion.

Le monument de Coligny érigé en 1889 à Paris rue de Rivoli au chevet du temple de l’Oratoire du Louvre fut, jusqu’en 2016, la seule trace commémorative parisienne de la Saint-Barthélemy. Encore ne la rappelle-t-il qu’indirectement. Il fut construit à l’occasion du centenaire de la Révolution française, dans un contexte de controverse sur le massacre du XVIe siècle. L’article indique les deux modèles antérieurs qui ont inspiré l’architecte et le sculpteur : le monument (cénotaphe-temple), qui date de 1883, à la gloire de J.-S. Bailly et qui commémore, dans la salle du Jeu de Paume de Versailles, le serment du Jeu de paume (1789) ; et un tableau commandé en 1786 par la monarchie et inspiré par la Henriade de Voltaire, peint par J.-B. Suvée pour commémorer l’assassinat de Coligny. Le monument de 1889 rend justice, lui, à la figure publique de l’amiral comme grand homme politique, quitte à gommer la dimension collective du massacre de 1572.

Impaired teachers' self-efficacy has contributed to delays in the implementation of inclusive education in Nigeria. Unfortunately, several efforts established towards ensuring the actualization of the Salamanca Declaration in Nigeria are yet to produce desired results. Although some past studies identified a mentor-mentee approach as a model that promotes the efficient implementation of established policies, paucity of research evidence exists on the implication of mentor-mentee approaches on the construction of teachers' self-efficacy for inclusive education, particularly at the basic level of education. Objectives. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of mentorship on in-service regular teachers' self-efficacy towards the implementation of inclusive education at the basic education level in Gombe State, Nigeria. Methods. A quasi-experimental research design was adopted for the study, while a purposive sampling technique was used to select 42 participants aged between 20 and 45 (M = 33.90, SD = 6.35) from two local government areas of the Gombe South Senatorial District. Participants were assigned to treatment and control groups, with 21 participants in each group. The Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (a = .81) was used for data collection. Data collected was analysed with an independent sample t-test. Results. Findings showed the efficacy of a mentoring training program on the self-efficacy of in-service regular teachers towards effective implementation of inclusive education at the basic level of education. Also, male and older teachers had higher self-efficacy for the implementation of Inclusive education at the basic education level. Conclusion. Mentorship programs significantly facilitate the achievement of inclusive education, particularly at the basic level of education. Welldesigned mentorship programs for early career in-service regular teachers would equip them with an orientation that would guide them towards effective implementation of inclusive education at the basic level of education. Based on the outcome of the study appropriate mentorship strategy for novice teachers was recommended.

The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the lives of millions around the world. In the education sector, schools had to abruptly transition from traditional in-person classes to emergency remote teaching, which presents a unique set of challenges for students, teachers and administrators alike. This research examined the various forms and the differential effects of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) strategies that were offered to primary and secondary school students in Gombe State, Nigeria during the COVID 19 pandemic lockdown of educational institutions. The study was guided by four research questions and four hypotheses. The causal comparative and survey research designs were used. The target population were all public and private primary and secondary school teachers in Gombe State, Nigeria. The participants comprised of 493 teachers from 197 schools comprising of 208 (42%) male, and 285 (58%) female was chosen through the multistage stratified random sampling technique. The stages were senatorial zones, local government areas, as well as school ownership (public/private), educational level (primary/secondary) and location (urban/ rural). A questionnaire titled Teacher Experiences on Emergency Remote Teaching Questionnaire (TEERTQ) was used for data collection after undergoing validation and a reliability coefficient of 0.84 obtained. Data were descriptively and inferentially (t-tests) analysed using the SPSS statistical software. The findings indicated the ERT platforms used were Radio, WhatsApp, Zoom, and YouTube. The result further indicated significant difference on the forms of ERT provided based on level, ownership and location. However, no gender differences exist on the forms of ERT provided. Based on the results, it was recommended that in order to prepare for future disruptions and minimize the negative impact of school closures on student learning, robust continuous learning strategies and high-quality remote learning policies should be developed and implemented to ensure that all students have equal access to remote learning opportunities and resource as well as maintain the standard of education delivery.

To assess the agronomic effects of sustainable okra production as impacted by goat manure (GM) and rice husk ash (RHA) on a community-based demonstration farm in Gombe State, field trials were carried out during the wet seasons of 2017 and 2018. The trails consisted of four levels of GM and RHA, each measuring 0.0, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 t ha-1 which were used on Kwadon's local cultivar of okra in a Randomized complete block design (RCBD) replicated four times. Findings revealed that days to 50% emergence and establishment count were not significantly (P>0.05) influenced by the application of GM and RHA, regardless of rates of application. Other growth-related indices were significantly (P<0.05) higher due to GM, such as plant height at 4, 5, and 6 WAS, number of leaves plant-1 at 4 WAS, and pod diameter. On the other hand, RHA significantly (P<0.05) increased plant height, the number of leaves plant-1 at 5 and 6 WAS, leaf area, shortened days to 50% flowering, and the number of pods plant-1 across the sampling periods and seasons. Similar to this, due to adequate mineralization of organic material through time and space, fresh okra's marketable weight increased in the 2018 season compared to the previous year. Thus, the application of 10.0 t ha-1 of both GM and RHA can be adopted in the production of okra in the study area to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the use of inorganic agrochemical inputs.

Pre-eclampsia is a common cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Studies have linked the condition to hypocalcaemia. The objective of this study was to determine the ionised calcium levels in pre-eclamptic women and compare with that of their normotensive counterparts. Two hundred and eighty-four (284) women who completed the study were analyzed. Half of the participants were pre-eclamptic and the other half were normotensive. The participants in the two groups were matched for age, gravidity, and gestational age. Venous blood was obtained from the antecubital vein and analyzed for ionised serum calcium. The mean ionised calcium concentrations between the two groups were compared using the student t-test. Results show the mean ages of the participants in the pre-eclamptic and normotensive groups were 24.47 ± 6.63 and 25.19 ± 5.71 years, respectively (p = 0.33). Pre-eclamptic subjects had significantly lower ionised serum calcium than the normotensive pregnant women (1.03 ± 0.11 mmol/L vs. 1.14 ±0.09 mmol/L, p < 0.001). There was also a significantly increased risk of hypocalcaemia amongst the pre-eclamptic pregnant women than the normotensive counterpart (OR=14.11, 95% CI: 6.16-32.35).Findings from this study suggest lower ionised calcium levels in serum and hypocalcaemia are associated indicators of preeclampsia among pregnant subjects diagnosed with the condition. Routine calcium supplementation is therefore recommended in pregnancy to reduce the risk of PE.

This study examined gender difference on achievement and retention of students in microteaching using Telegram and WhatsApp platforms in collaborative learning settings. A sample of 282 students enrolled on Telegram and WhatsApp from two universities in Gombe State, Nigeria, was purposively selected for the study, where the two sampled groups were assigned into two experimental groups. The instrument used in this study is the micro-teaching achievement test validated by experts in the field of educational technology and curriculum studies, where a split-half method of reliability was used to obtain a figure of 0.91 using Pearson product moment correlation. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions while inferential statistics involving an independent sample t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that there is no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of male and female students taught using Telegram platform (t=2.571, p>0.05); there is no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of male and female students taught using WhatsApp platform (t=3.671, p>0.05); there is no significant difference in the mean retention scores of male and female students taught using Telegram platform (t=5.274, p>0.05). However, there is a significant difference in the mean retention scores of male and female students taught using WhatsApp platform in favor of the female students (t=4.071,p<0.05). It is hereby recommended that lecturers should deploy the use of Telegram and WhatsApp platforms in collaborative learning settings during micro-teaching in order to bridge the individual differences occasioned by gender since technology has the potential to serve as a leveler and also be able to bridge gender differences.

This research centered on effects of instruction in mechanical accuracy on correct spelling and the use of comma in composition writing by students in College of Education Billiri. It was geared towards improving students’ performance in essay writing. A quasi experimental research design was adopted. The population was NCE I students of College of Education Billiri, Gombe State. A sample of 112 NCE 1 students selected purposively was used. Two intact classes of NCE I students, one as the control and the other as experimental group were used. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The 2018 WASSCE questions were adapted and used to collect data, and the data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test statistics. The results showed a significant difference between students who received treatment on mechanical accuracy as they achieved higher than those who did not. The study concluded that instruction in mechanical accuracy improves students’ correct spelling and use of comma in composition writing. Based on these findings, a number of recommendations were made, major among is that teachers of English composition writing should teach mechanical accuracy separately for the learners to apply the rules while composing essays.

The study Assessed major childhood diseases and child mortality in Yamaltu/Deba Local Government Area of Gombe State. It also analyzed the complex socio-economic and cultural factors that influence the distribution of diseases and mortality in the study area. Data on childhood diseases and mortality were collected from hospital visits of children aged 0-5 years at Deba General Hospital during the 10-year period from 2007-2016. Five percent of the records were sampled. Data on the demographic, socio-economic and cultural factors of respondents were collected with the aid of questionnaires, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and In-Depth Interviews (IDIs) to explain perceptions and attitudes regarding the major diseases and child mortality in the study area. The sample size was determined from one-third of the households in the study area. One hundred respondents were selected from 21 settlements in the 11 wards of the study area, using a systematic sampling technique. Descriptive and Inferential Statistics (regression analysis, Pearson’s correlation and ANOVA) were used in analyzing the results. The results show malaria, diarrhoea and other fevers as the major childhood diseases; with variation in childhood mortality as influenced by the demographic, socio-economic, and cultural characteristics of parents. The regression analysis with an R-value of 0.860 indicates a very high degree of correlation among the variables. It indicates that 70% of the diseases caused can be explained or accounted for by income, religion, occupation and education. The regression analyses Coefficients indicate that Religion and Education significantly predict “Disease”. The result further indicates that “Religion” which yielded a Beta (β) value of .862, t-value of 3.102, and a p-value of .002, and “Education” which yielded a Beta (β) value of .760, t-value of 2.058, and a p-value of .040 were significant. Similarly, regression analysis for mortality with an R-value of 0.536 indicates a high degree of correlation among the variables in the model. This shows that 41.8% of the mortality causes can be explained or accounted for by income, religion, occupation and education. The result of the analysis also shows that healthcare facilities in the area are not efficiently located. The study recommended that Programmes and policies aimed at addressing the health needs and economic empowerment of the population should be put in place in the study area.

Anthropogenic activity especially coal mining contributes immensely to environmental pollution within coalmine and the host community especially if not well managed. This study is on the assessment of air quality in and around Maiganga coalmine, with the objectives of finding out the ambient concentration levels of criteria air pollutants within the coalmine, the Maiganga community and the four control sites 2km north, south, east and west of the coalmine, as well as compare the findings with the concentration levels of pollutants recommended as acceptable safety limits set by Federal Ministry of Environment, FMEnv. Six sampling locations were selected for detail assessment, with one point in each of the sites mentioned. Measurement of concentrations of criteria air pollutants; sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), and ozone (O3) were taken in-situ using Personal Toxic Gas Monitor (Tango TXI single gas monitor). Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), coarse particulate matter (PM10), were collected using a Portable Counter HT – 9601 (PM2.5 and PM10) personal dust meter high volume gravity sampler. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were also measured using a Portable Hand Held Gas Detector (Porcheck+). The study was done during the dry season and the results revealed that, coarse paticulate matter (PM10) was above the stipulated safety limit of 250µg/m3 set by the FMEnv for the coal mine area and Maiganga community but all other parameters were within the safety limits of the FMEnv. CO, NO2, SO2, and NH3 in coalmine area had concentrations lower than in that in control areas because of other anthropogenic activities like burning, heating, waste disposal, agricultural practices and a host of others taking place in the control area and which are not available in the coalmine area. However, the concentrations of the aforementioned parameters were higher in Maiganga community than in the control areas due to higher rate of anthropogenic activities in the community than in the control areas. The hypothesis were tested using student t – test, and the alternative hypothesis was accepted which showed there was no significant variations in the values of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), coarse particulate matter (PM10), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), and ozone (O3) obtain from the coalmine, Maiganga community and the Control (N.S.E.W) with safety limits set by FMEnv. It is however, recommended that the Federal Ministry of Environment and National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) should ensure strict compliance with safety and environmental standards agreed upon during Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

Introduction: The evidence of benefits for prophylaxis especially low dose prophylaxis is incontestable yet most children in developing countries as Nigeria do not have access to this treatment protocol.
Aim: The aim was to audit the low dose prophylaxis treatment in Nigerian children with haemophilia.
Methodology: A multicentre clinical audit of five haemophilia treatment centres; University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu, Lagos University Teaching Hospital, National Hospital Abuja, University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital Port Harcourt, and Federal Teaching Hospital Gombe. Eighteen children with mild-severe haemophilia were enrolled into low-dose prophylaxis treatment programme. The reduction of joint bleeding, improvement of joint function and Quality of Life (QoL) during prophylaxis were analysed.
Results: In total 18 children - 17males and 1 female (median age 8 years) were enrolled. The median duration of observation was 7 months (range 3-15months). Seven of the children were on primary prophylaxis (41%) while 10 of the children (59%) were on secondary prophylaxis. The number of joint bleeds decreased from a total of 162 (individual range 5-20, mean 10.3) to 42 (range 0-7, mean 3.0) during the observation period with an overall reduction of 74%. Joint function improved in 94.1% of disease joints, while only 5.6% reported no improvement (due to poor compliance). School attendance improved in all subjects, sports participation and daily activity improved moderately.
Conclusion: Low dose prophylaxis was beneficial in reduction of joint bleeds, improvement of joint function and improvement of QoL of Children with haemophilia in Nigeria.

ABSTRACT Simian immunodeficiency virus of chimpanzees (SIVcpz) is the immediate precursor to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), yet remarkably, the distribution and prevalence of SIVcpz in wild ape populations are unknown. Studies of SIVcpz infection rates in wild chimpanzees are complicated by the species' endangered status and by its geographic location in remote areas of sub-Saharan Africa. We have developed sensitive and specific urine and fecal tests for SIVcpz antibody and virion RNA (vRNA) detection and describe herein the first comprehensive prevalence study of SIVcpz infection in five wild Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii communities in east Africa. In Kibale National Park in Uganda, 31 (of 52) members of the Kanyawara community and 39 (of ∼145) members of the Ngogo community were studied; none were found to be positive for SIVcpz infection. In Gombe National Park in Tanzania, 15 (of 20) members of the Mitumba community, 51 (of 55) members of the Kasekela community, and at least 10 (of ∼20) members of the Kalande community were studied. Seven individuals were SIVcpz antibody and/or vRNA positive, and two others had indeterminate antibody results. Based on assay sensitivities and the numbers and types of specimens analyzed, we estimated the prevalence of SIVcpz infection to be 17% in Mitumba (95% confidence interval, 10 to 40%), 5% in Kasekela (95% confidence interval, 4 to 7%), and 30% in Kalande (95% confidence interval, 15 to 60%). For Gombe as a whole, the SIVcpz prevalence was estimated to be 13% (95% confidence interval, 7 to 25%). SIVcpz infection was confirmed in five chimpanzees by PCR amplification of partial pol and gp41/nef sequences which revealed a diverse group of viruses that formed a monophyletic lineage within the SIVcpzPts radiation. Although none of the 70 Kibale chimpanzees tested SIVcpz positive, we estimated the likelihood that a 10% or higher prevalence existed but went undetected because of sampling and assay limitations; this possibility was ruled out with 95% certainty. These results indicate that SIVcpz is unevenly distributed among P. t. schweinfurthii in east Africa, with foci or “hot spots” of SIVcpz endemicity in some communities and rare or absent infection in others. This situation contrasts with that for smaller monkey species, in which infection rates by related SIVs are generally much higher and more uniform among different groups and populations. The basis for the wide variability in SIVcpz infection rates in east African apes and the important question of SIVcpz prevalence in west central African chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) remain to be elucidated.

Une tradition proprement française de la traduction conduirait à ne pas traduire, mais à s’approprier le texte-source, à l’embellir. Ce non-traduire français n’épargne pas le médiéviste national. D’autant qu’il rêve de gommer ainsi l’écart entre la littérature médiévale et la culture contemporaine. La thèse du “même au même” fonde ce point de vue dans le champ de la langue et celui de la traduction. Conséquence ? Pendant longtemps, la traduction des oeuvres médiévales a semblé mineure aux yeux des médiévistes. Mais qu’en disent lespublications bilingues (et “intralinguales”) qui fleurissent depuis plusieurs années? Quelles stratégies et quels stéréotypes fondent leur pratique ? Pour ce qui concerne les deux romans de Mélusine, tenant à faire de l’altérité une vertu, Matthew Morris et moi-même avons souhaité traduire en gardant la “bonne distance”, aussi bien vis à vis du respect de la lettre du texte médiéval que du penchant ethno-centriste à en faire une oeuvre contemporaine. Nos deux traductions, par ailleurs, se sont appuyées sur l’idée selon laquelle une traduction est une transformation maîtrisée par le souci de servir le sens de l’oeuvre. Cet article montre alors comment ces principes généraux ont inspiré, de façon différente, nos traductions particulières, celle de la prose de Jean d’Arras et celle des vers de Couldrette. Ainsi a-t-on espéré faire de nos traductions des aventures de Mélusine et de ses fils autre chose qu’un simpleexercice technique : une activité linguistique qui engage des choix esthétiques et culturels fondamentaux et évite le regrettable non-traduire français.

This study examines the impact of entrepreneurial activities of Home Economics teachers on family economic stability and well-being in Northeast Nigeria. Home Economics, as a field, encompasses various disciplines such as nutrition, home management, and consumer education, aiming to improve the quality of life for individuals and families. In Northeast Nigeria, Home Economics teachers often engage in entrepreneurial activities, leveraging their expertise to supplement their income and enhance their families' economic stability. This study evaluates the extent to which these entrepreneurial endeavors contribute to family income, food security, and overall quality of life. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from Home Economics teachers across Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe states. A sample of 200 teachers was selected through multistage sampling. The study employed both descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the data, including paired samples t-tests and W-statistics to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial activities significantly enhance family economic stability and well-being. Teachers engaged in ventures such as catering, textile and fashion businesses, and home management consultancy experienced notable improvements in family income, food security, and overall quality of life. The study underscores the importance of supporting entrepreneurial initiatives among Home Economics teachers to foster economic resilience and social development in the region. The results provide valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and community leaders to integrate entrepreneurial education within the Home Economics curriculum, thereby promoting sustainable development in Northeast Nigeria.

Abstract Background: Chronic liver disease (CLD) such as cirrhosis is a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma and as such requires a reliable diagnostic surveillance. Hemodynamic changes are detected early using ultrasound scan. Ultrasound has been found to be an accurate and noninvasive method of assessing the portal vein hemodynamic changes in patients with CLD. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective case–control study conducted over a period of 6 months at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe between September 2015 and February 2016. Portal vein diameter (PVD) of 100 adult male and female CLD patients were compared with 100 age- and sex-matched controls. Ultrasonography of the portal vein was used using HD-9 Phillips (2010) ultrasound machine. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Windows version 20.0 package was used for data analysis, with P ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant with a confidence interval of 95%. The variables were expressed as range and mean ± standard deviation. All comparison of variables was done using the Student’s t-test for CLD and control. Pearson’s correlation coefficients and point-biserial correlation coefficient were used for the correlation analysis. Results: The mean PVD in normal subjects was 1.07 ± 0.60 cm and the respective value for CLD subjects was 1.50 ± 0.21 cm. There was a statistically significant difference in PVD between normal and CLD subjects (P = 0.001). The PVD correlated positively with age and sex in both CLD and controls. Conclusion: The PVD was significantly higher in CLD subjects than controls. PVD correlated significantly with age and sex in both CLD subjects and controls.

Objectives Nasal septal deviation and hypertrophy of the adenoids and palatine tonsils are 2 common causes of nasopharyngeal obstruction and consequently mouth breathing in children. It is accepted that chronic mouth breathing influences craniofacial growth and development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences of craniofacial morphology in children with 2 different etiological factors of mouth breathing. Methods Study design:cross sectional. The research was conducted between 2005–2007 on 47 predominantly mouth-breathing patients aged 6–10 years. After otorhinolaryngologic examination and flexible nasofibroscopy, patients were divided into 2 groups based on the etiology of nasopharyngeal obstruction: group 1, with adenotonsillar hypertrophy, and group 2 with nasal septal deviation. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were obtained to assess craniofacial development. Data gained were statistically evaluated by Mann-Whitney and T-student tests. Results With respect to the inclination of the mandibular and palatal planes, anteroposterior relationship of maxilla and mandible to the cranial base, and indexes of facial height proportions, no significant differences were observed between two groups of children with mouth breathing. Only the angular ArGo. GoMe measurement was significantly larger in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy (p<0.05). Conclusions The present study did not detect significant morphological differences between children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy and those with nasal septal deviation. Mouth breathing seems to have a similar effect on craniofacial morphology irrespective of its etiology. Prospective studies with larger samples including older children are suggested.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To conduct a pilot study to determine if the presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) influences the orthodontic treatment outcome of Class II hyperdivergent patients receiving comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: Patients between the ages of 12 and 14 who received orthodontic treatment at the Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University, China, were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: the OSA group and the control group, based on the outcome of pretreatment polysomnography findings and lateral cephalometric radiograph examination. Patients in the control group were matched with the OSA group for age, sex, ethnicity, weight, and height. Cephalometric measurements were used to record the skeletal and dental changes from before to after treatment. Data were analyzed using the t-test. Results: Twenty three OSA patients and 23 control patients were included. After comprehensive orthodontic treatment, the mandibular plane angle (SN-GoMe), articular angle (SArGo), sum of Jarabak angles (SUM) and the lower gonial angle (NGoMe) were found to increase significantly in the OSA group but remained unchanged or decreased slightly in the control group (P < .05). In the non-OSA group, the growth pattern became more horizontal. In contrast, in the OSA group the growth pattern became more vertical. Otherwise, similar treatment results were obtained for both groups in terms of sagittal change and occlusion. Conclusions: The presence of OSA in pediatric patients has a deleterious effect on the development of hyperdivergent malocclusions. Early diagnosis and management of pediatric OSA can affect the orthodontic treatment outcome of these patients.

The main purpose of the study was to determine the proficiency skills needed by teachers for optimal performances in motor vehicle mechanics work in technical colleges in Adamawa and Taraba States. The study was guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses. The study which adopted descriptive survey research design was conducted in Adamawa and Taraba States. The population of the study was 123 respondents comprising 81 MVMW teachers and 42 instructors from all the 21 BEST Centres and Government Science and Technical colleges in Adamawa and Taraba States, Nigeria. There was no sampling as the entire population was used because it was manageable. A structured questionnaire tagged: Proficiency Skills Needs of Motor Vehicle Mechanics Works Teachers Questionnaire (PSNMVMWTQ) was validated by three experts. The Instrument was trial tested in Gombe State and the Cronbach Alpha reliability method was used to test the reliability of the instrument and a 0.84 reliability coefficient was obtained. Data collected for the study was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27.0. Mean statistics was used to answer the two research questions while a t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed among others that 35 technical skills were considered needed by MVMW teachers. Similarly, 25 ICT skills were considered as ‘needed’. Importantly, there were no significant differences between instructors and MVMW teachers regarding the perceived importance of these skills. It is recommended that to address the technical skills gaps identified, particularly in the use of diagnostic tools and performing necessary repairs, it is recommended that the Technical College Management Board should organize workshops and practical training sessions. These initiatives should emphasize hands-on experience with diagnostic equipment, connecting tools appropriately, and interpreting trouble codes.

ABSTRACT Current knowledge of the genetic diversity of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVcpz) infection of wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) is incomplete since few isolates, mostly from captive apes from Cameroon and Gabon, have been characterized; yet this information is critical for understanding the origins of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and the circumstances leading to the HIV-1 pandemic. Here, we report the first full-length SIVcpz sequence (TAN1) from a wild chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) from Gombe National Park (Tanzania), which was obtained noninvasively by amplification of virion RNA from fecal samples collected under field conditions. Using reverse transcription-PCR and a combination of generic and strain-specific primers, we amplified 13 subgenomic fragments which together spanned the entire TAN1 genome (9,326 bp). Distance and phylogenetic tree analyses identified TAN1 unambiguously as a member of the HIV-1/SIVcpz group of viruses but also revealed an extraordinary degree of divergence from all previously characterized SIVcpz and HIV-1 strains. In Gag, Pol, and Env proteins, TAN1 differed from west-central African SIVcpz and HIV-1 strains on average by 36, 30, and 51% of amino acid sequences, respectively, approaching distance values typically found for SIVs from different primate species. The closest relative was SIVcpzANT, also from a P. t. schweinfurthii ape, which differed by 30, 25, and 44%, respectively, in these same protein sequences but clustered with TAN1 in all major coding regions in a statistically highly significant manner. These data indicate that east African chimpanzees, like those from west-central Africa, are naturally infected by SIVcpz but that their viruses comprise a second, divergent SIVcpz lineage which appears to have evolved in relative isolation for an extended period of time. Our data also demonstrate that noninvasive molecular epidemiological studies of SIVcpz in wild chimpanzees are feasible and that such an approach may prove essential for unraveling the evolutionary history of SIVcpz/HIV-1 as well as that of other pathogens naturally infecting wild primate populations.

Abstract Purpose: Access to radiotherapy (RT) is now one of the stark examples of global cancer inequities. Over 800,000 new cancer cases require potentially curative or palliative RT services in Africa, arguably less than 15% of these patients currently have access to this important service. For a population of over 200 million, Nigeria requires a minimum of 280 RT machines for the increasing number of cancer cases. Painfully the country has only 8 government-funded radiotherapy machines. This study aimed to evaluate the status of the eight (8) Government-funded RT centres in Nigeria regarding RT equipment, workforce and infrastructure to quantify their ability to deliver effective RT to their patients. Methods: A survey addressing ten (10) critical areas was used to assess the eight (8) Government-funded RT centres in Nigeria. Results: Unfortunately, 6 of the 8 centres (75%) surveyed have not treated patients with RT over the last 2 years because they do not have functioning teletherapy machines. Only 2 RT centres have the capability of treating patients using advanced RT techniques. There is no PET-CT scan in any of the Government-funded RTcentres. The workforce capacity and infrastructure across the 8 centres are limited. All of the centres lack residency training programmes for medical physicists and radiation therapy technologists (RTTs) resulting in very few well-trained staff. Conclusion: As the Nigeria government plans for the new National Cancer Control Plan, there is an urgent need to scale up access to radiotherapy by upgrading the RT equipment, workforce and infrastructure to meet the current needs of Nigerian cancer patients. While the shortfall is apparent from a variety of radiotherapy-capacity data bases, this detailed analysis provides essential information for an implementation plan involving solutions from within Nigeria and with global partners.
