For this purpose, 380 higher secondary school teachers were randomly selected and attitude towards the implementation of sex education scale administered to them. To study the significance of difference between the various groups, ‘t’ test was applied by the researcher. The overall results indicate that the higher secondary school teachers (both urban and rural) possess highly favourable attitude towards the implementation of sex education. And there is no significance difference in the attitude of higher secondary school teacher towards the implementation of sex education in relation to their gender (i.e. male and female), locality (i.e. rural and urban) and stream (i.e., arts, science and commerce).
The issue of elderly care resulting from the aging population in East Asia has garnered significant attention, with a growing emphasis on disease prevention over treatment. The integration of health Qigong with traditional Chinese medicine and exercise offers long-term benefits for the physical form and function of middle-aged and elderly individuals. Due to its distinctive philosophy and aesthetic characteristics, health Qigong has gained prominence both domestically and internationally, serving as a medium for promoting health communication and enhancing population health levels. In an aging society, incorporating culture into the communication process of health Qigong along with narrative content is an effective approach to foster health communication. By integrating aesthetic principles into research, this study analyzes three dimensions: 1) physical health; 2) cultural aspects; 3) kung fu philosophy. Consequently, it proposes an aesthetic narrative strategy for health communication that encompasses embracing one's age, appreciating cultural perspectives, and valuing simplicity.

This paper analyses vibration of uniform flexible simply supported rectangular isotropic beam under large deformation with uniformly distributed mass elements. The method of equivalent pseudolinear systems was employed. The deformation of the beam was assumed to be large and the beam was also assumed to be inextensible. The expressions for elastic and nonlinear bending moments were determined. The numerical values of horizontal displacements of the movable support, and the equivalent lengths at various depth-to-breadth (aspect) ratios were determined. The corresponding equivalent pseudolinear systems for various nonlinear bending moment diagrams at various aspect ratios were determined. Consequently the concentrated loads yielding the equivalent pseudolinear systems were converted to point masses using the gravitational acceleration; and subsequently a unit load system was applied successively and independently at each mass point. The Vereshchagin’s method was applied to determine the displacements for canonical equations of motion. Non-trivial solution of the canonical equations at each aspect ratio was sought for the desired eigenvalues. The first mode frequencies at aspect ratios, β = 1.00 and β = 1.25 are complex eigenvalues. Also the natural frequencies exhibit hard-spring type with aspect ratios; and the fundamental frequencies for all the aspect ratios are at seventh mode. Conclusively, the dynamic stability of the flexible rectangular beam of 0.25m-breadth and 15m-undeformed length is not guaranteed when the aspect ratio is less than or equal to 1.25. It is also concluded that deepness of the flexible rectangular beam loaded with uniformly distributed mass elements influences the vibratory characteristics.

DOI: 10.36348/sijap.2024.v07i03.001
Background: The cephalic index and head circumference are important anthropometric parameters that can provide insights into the physical characteristics and growth patterns of populations. There is dearth of data on Cephalic Index and Head circumference of Igbo Children and Adolescents. Method: This study examined 725 Igbo children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 years in Enugu, South-eastern Nigeria, using a cross-sectional approach. Results: The majority of participants exhibited mesocephalic head shape (43.2%), with brachycephalic and dolichocephalic shapes observed in 32.7% and 14.2% of the population, respectively. Mean head circumference increased with age in both sexes. Cephalic indices in boys under 12 and girls under 15 were below 80 but increased above these ages. Changes in head shape, potentially towards brachycephalization, were noted as children grew. Significant correlations were found between head circumference and cephalic index with age, height, weight, and body mass index, suggesting their relevance in forensic and anthropological investigations. Conclusion: Our results indicate diversity in head shapes and sizes, with mesocephalic heads being most common. As age increases, head circumference also tends to increase, and changes in head shape towards brachycephalization was observed. These findings underscore the importance of understanding anthropometric variations in different populations and suggest avenues for further research, particularly longitudinal studies, to explore the factors influencing these patterns.
