Mental health issues among college students are a growing concern, with estimates of prevalence varying widely depending on the population studied and the criteria used to define mental health issues. In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between mental health, academic performance, and self-social mental health recovery among college students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among college students, and data were collected on mental health, academic performance, and self-social mental health recovery. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and ANOVA were used to analyse the data. The results showed that college students reported above- average levels of mental health and academic performance, with prevalence and severity of mental health issues and factors contributing to poor mental health also rated high. The study found a significant positive relationship between factors contributing to poor mental health and self-social mental health recovery, as well as between mental health and academic performance and self-social mental health recovery. However, no significant relationship was found between prevalence and severity of mental health issues and self-social mental health recovery. The findings suggest that addressing factors contributing to poor mental health and promoting mental health and academic performance may be key in improving self-social mental health recovery among college students. Future research is needed to explore these relationships further and to identify effective strategies for promoting mental health and well-being among college students.

Acromegaly is a condition caused by an excessive secretion of growth hormone due to a somatotropic pituitary adenoma, leading to an acquired dysmorphic syndrome. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerance of medical treatment using Lanreotide LP 120 mg in 15 patients with acromegaly, who were followed up at the endocrinology department of Ibn Sina Hospital in Rabat between 2017 and 2018. The quality of life of the patients after Lanreotide treatment was evaluated using the AcroQol questionnaire. 80% of the patients were found to have acrofacial dysmorphic syndrome, with the diagnosis based on clinical, biological, and radiological data. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a pituitary macroadenoma in 86.7% of the cases. All patients were treated with medical treatment using Lanreotide LP 120mg. Fourteen patients underwent adenomectomy, with 4 of them receiving GammaKnife radiotherapy. During treatment, complications were observed in 80% of patients, with half of them related to vesicular lithiasis. The AcroQol scores obtained in the study were less satisfactory than expected, indicating a lower quality of life compared to the general population.

Oversight of the case settlement process using a restorative justice approach and the implementation of the resulting agreement rests with the direct supervisor of the responsible official at each level of examination. As long as the restorative justice process takes place and after restorative justice is carried out, social counselors are required to provide guidance and supervision. If the restorative justice agreement is not carried out within the time specified in the agreement, the social adviser immediately reports to the responsible official. The approach method used in this study is the juridical-normative research method, which is a research method that examines secondary data (data that has been documented). The results of this study are (1) Weaknesses of restorative justice policies in cases of children as perpetrators of crimes are Weaknesses in Legal Substance is Article 7 of the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law which explains the implementation of diversion at the level of investigation, prosecution, and examination of child cases in District Court. The weakness of the legal structure is that law enforcement officials, especially the National Police, who are part of the criminal justice subsystem, are required to seek settlement of child cases as perpetrators of crimes through restorative justice. The weakness of the Legal Culture is the low level of public understanding in terms of understanding the investigation process through diversion, where often the parties (perpetrators and victims) ask for diversion even though the formal requirements for diversion are not fulfilled/the threat is more than 7 years and is a repetition of a crime. (3) Reconstruction of Article 140 (2) letter (a) by adding a termination of prosecution based on the concept of restorative justice.

Ruellia brittoniana is a common wild ethnomedicinal plant belonging to the Acanthaceae family. The plant was claimed ethnically wound-healing properties, use as an antidote against snake bites and to cure bone fractures. However, these claims are not been validated. The present study deals with powder microscopy, fluorescence, and qualitative phytochemical analysis of the leaves, stem, and root of this plant. The powdered microscopy showed the presence of both types of trichomes and spiral elements. The Fluorescence analysis under visible and ultra-violet light for leaves, stems and root powder treated with various chemical reagents revealed different patterns of fluorescence effect. The qualitative phytochemical study showed that the plant is rich in phytochemicals and possesses significant levels of Glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, and saponins. The availability of these groups of Phyto- components indicates that the plant could prove an alternative remedy to cure asthma, fever, bronchitis, high blood pressure, eczema, and diabetes. Further, the GC-MS analysis revealed the 10 phytochemical compounds have significant medicinal potential. The major objective of this study is to endorse this plant as a step toward commercial drug developments after confirming and standardizing its microscopic features and fluorescence behavior to identify adulteration in market-available crude drug powder and screening for possible drug molecules.

The main purpose of the study was to ascertain if academic excellence is a yardstick for employability in the Nigerian labour market. The study was guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses. The population consisted of 173 Business Education graduates from public tertiary institution offering Business Education programme in Enugu State in the 2019/2020 academic session. No sampling was carried out since the population was manageable. The instrument used for data collection was a 17-itemed questionnaire developed by the researcher. The instrument was validated by three experts and the reliability of the instrument was determined using Crombach Alpha which yielded reliability index of 0.88. The instrument was administered by the researcher. 160 out of 173 copies of the questionnaire were well responded to, returned and therefore, used for data analysis representing 93 percent return rate. Mean and standard deviation were used for data analysis and correlation statistics was used to test the null hypotheses. Findings showed that: High and low achievers get jobs at same rate, Doing well on the job does not depend on grade, High achievers are more creative on jobs, Employers seek skills more than grade, Good grade does not guarantee employability, Job creation is targeted at both high and low achievers are some of the factors to prove that academic excellence is not a yardstick for employability in Nigeria. The null hypotheses showed that no significant relationship exist in the mean responses of high and low achieving Business Education graduates in public tertiary institutions in Enugu State on the itemized variables. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that Attention should be shifted from academic excellence as yardstick for employability in Nigeria so that students are not pressured into dubious means just to graduate with high grades since findings of the study has shown that the both variables has no direct relationship. Employment opportunities should be massively created for all enough for both high and low academic performers since the findings of the study revealed that those with low academic performance can also have valuable skills capable of keeping them on the job for as long as they intend to.
