This study examined the effect of quality teaching strategies on improved health and hygiene practices in southern Ghana. A total of 60 public basic schools were selected from four regional capitals in southern Ghana using simple random sampling. Data for the study were analysed using multiple regression. It was found out that quality teaching by the teacher relates positively to the learning strategies adapted by the students; however, the two variables do not directly lead to an improved...

The world faces a great developmental revolution in all scientific fields which in its turn affects different aspects of life, such as: the medical, engineering and educational fields, etc. The educational school’s aspect in particular will be the topic of this research. It tries to assist in developing the different aspects of the educational leader’s character in order to be capable to work, conduct research, create and innovate through developing how to think and how to be a creative...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore students’ perceptions of voice handicap and to analyze their acoustic parameters to determine whether acoustic measures of students’ voice would correlate with their perceptions of voice handicap assessed by Arabic version of Voice Handicap Index (VHI), and with the perception of the listener assessed by the scale of Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenicity and Strained (GRBAS scales). This study will also check the correlation between GRBAS...

This research investigated and compared climate change potential of agrochemical inputs used by efficient and inefficient farmers’ in soybean agro-ecosystem vis-a-vis strategy of minimizing its environmental impacts for sustainable agro-ecology. These methodologies helped to identify the impact of energy use from different inputs on output, measure efficiency scores of farmers, segregate efficient farmers from inefficient farmers, find the wasteful uses of energy by inefficient farmers and...

Overweight and obesity in children, and adolescents is on the rise globally. Affected children are prone to cardio-metabolic problems later in life, especially hypertension. The prevalence of obesity/overweight may differ depending on school type. Private schools are attended mostly by children of the affluent, while public schools are attended predominantly by those in the low and middle socio-economic classes.To compare the prevalence of overweight, obesity and elevated blood pressure (BP)...

Introduction: Hearing impairment indicate a full or partial decrease in ability to detect or understand sounds. Their first presentation could be with delayed speech, language and cognitive ability. The goal of universal newborn hearing screeningprograms (UNHS), which are widely used in developed countries, is early recognition and treatment of hearing impairment. All children should be managed by a multidisciplinary team. Objectives: To study the risk factors and treatment of hearing loss...

Introduction: Malaria particularly affects children in sub-Saharan African countries.This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with death in cases of severe childhood malaria to better understand the determinants of death in these children.Patients and Methods: This cohort, descriptive and analytical study was conducted from April 1 to August 15, 2015, at the CNHU-HKM pediatric clinic in Cotonou.Recruitment was exhaustive for all patients under 15 years of age who were admitted...

Background: The prevalence of congenital malaria is getting more and more significant in Sub-Saharan Africa where is a malaria-endemic area.This study aimed to identify the clinical and therapeutic features as well as the outcome of congenital malaria in CHUD-B in 2015.Method: It was a cohort and descriptive study with analytical purpose, carried out in the Mother and Child Department which includes the Gynecology & Obstetrics and Pediatric Unit of CHUD-B.The study target population...

Smallholder farmers are highly vulnerable to the impacts climate change, due to their dependence on agriculture for their livelihoods, reliance on rain-fed crops and location in marginal lands. Farmers have to perceive first that the climate has changed, and then identify effective and efficient climate change-smart agricultural practices climate and implement them. The main purpose of this study was to analyze factors determining the farming communities’ awareness of climate change and...

Climate change is a reality and has been confirmed by global scientific confirmation to affect rainfed agricultural systems. Climate change and variability is expected to have serious environmental, economic, and social impacts particularly on rural farmers whose livelihoods depend largely on rainfall. The farmers’ Knowledge and awareness about climatic patterns are important for adaptation planning. Perceptions guides decision making and eventually determines the actions to be made by...

Polychaetes nereids groups are the most common in shallow marine habitats and abundant in benthic communities. This group was proved to tolerate a high burden of heavy metals within their tissues. The current work assesses the effect of water criteria; sea water temperature, hydrogen ion concentration (pH), dissolved oxygen concentration, turbidity, conductivity and salinity on the uptake and storage of four heavy metals; Mn,, Pb, Cd and Cu in tissues of the marine polychaete worm Nereis...
