The present investigation was carried out to determine and compare the nutritional values of some selected edible mushrooms collected in Ekiti State, Nigeria such as Pleurotus sajor-caju, Termitomyces robustus, Lentinus squarosullus, Termitomyces microcarpous, Termitomyces clypeatus, Lentinus tuber-regium and Polyporus sp. Proximate composition, mineral composition as well as vitamins A and C contents of the mushrooms were determined using standard methods. Results revealed significant differences in the nutritional composition of the mushrooms though some had similar compositions. The overall nutritional composition of the mushrooms was quite good suggesting that they have potentials to address the nutrient deficiency prevalent in the state, particularly among the low income earners. The values (%) ranged from 6.61-9.75 for moisture content, 1.07-3.89 for fat, 1.61-10.60 for total ash content, 1.61-10.81 for crude fibre, 8.67-37.31 for protein and 49.90- 75.35 for carbohydrates. The mineral composition (mg/100g) ranged between 24.96- 126.66 (Na), 478.30-789.64 (K), 33.06-153.43 (Mg), 38.17-440.20 (Ca), 1.23- 14.03 (Mn), 12.84-151.14 (Fe), 3.58-14.55 (Zn) and 0.92-4.03 (Cu). Vitamin A content (mg/g) was very low ranging from 0.01-0.12 while vitamin C content ranged from 94.22-326.51. The present study contributes to the elaboration of the nutritional database of commonly consumed mushrooms in Ekiti State, Nigeria.

A study was conducted to assess effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding psycho social interventions for the caregivers on caring the mental health needs of mentally ill inmates. The study was conducted in Shivamoga Beggar Relief and Rehabilitation Centre. Total samples were 10. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used. A structured questionnaire was used as an instrument to measure the level of knowledge of caregivers. It was seen that the pre - test mean (6.8+_2.7) was lesser than post – test mean (23.7+_1.9). Here p value is (<0.001*) which is highly significant. The study revealed that the 60% samples had poor knowledge and 40% of them had average knowledge in pre- test. But in post-test 80% of samples had excellent knowledge and 20 % had good knowledge. The study concludes that structured teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge of caregivers regarding psycho social interventions. We have performed Fishers exact test to know the significant association between knowledge and selected demographic variables. We observed that there is no significant association between knowledge and selected demographic variables.

This study focused on the analysis of birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), weaning age (WA) and average daily gain (ADG) between birth and weaning of 950 Borgou cattle using data over five years from the Okpara Breeding Farm. The BW, WW, and ADG of animals including 513 males calves and 437 females calves were determined based on the variation factors. A general linear model (GLM) was used to determine the effects of the factors of variation: sex, season of birth, calving number, year of birth, and birth park. The weaning age of animals was also considered as a factor in order to determine its influence on WW and ADG. The results showed that the average weaning age of Borgou cattle was 392.49 ± 71.51 days. The weaning age had an effect on weaning weight and ADG of the animals. The BW and WW ranged from 16.11 ± 0.20 kg to 22.28 ± 0.20 kg and from 107.80 ± 2.50 kg to 125.46 ± 1.17 kg, respectively. As for the ADG, it varied between 212.06 ± 7.56 kg and 330.78 ± 6.47 kg. The sex, birth season, calving number, and park influenced birth weight, the weaning weight, and the average daily gain. The year influenced the weaning weight and the ADG (p<0.001) but had no effect on birth weight (p>0.001). Male calves showed higher weaning weights and daily weight gains than female calves (p<0.05). Animals born during the transition period between the rainy season and the dry season were heavier (p<0.05). Animals from 6th calving number had the best birth weights, the best weaning weights and the best ADGs (p<0.05).

Guided by theories of systemic functional linguistics and pragmatics, this paper is focused on approaching translation from the perspective of text analysis. It aims at analyzing, interpreting and ironing out some issues conceding textual translation by means of transplanting linguistic theories and trying to provide a textoriented perspective in translation studies. The paper consists of four chapters. The first chapter presents a brief introduction to text analysis at home and abroad. Starting from the unit of translation, the second chapter deals with the necessity of text analysis in translation and makes a brief difference between discourse and text. The third chapter discusses the role of intentionality in translation and gives some examples. The fourth chapter is a retrospect and prospect, which tells the strong points and limitations of the paper, its developing tendency and further research in the future.

The quality of food products from cassava are affected by processing methods and varieties of cassava used which may later affect consumers demand. In this work, fresh cassava roots of different local varieties (Odongbo, IITA funfun, Olekanga, and Oko iyawo) were processed into gari and pupuru. The two products were analyzed for proximate composition, mineral content, chemical and functional properties while the reconstituted meals from them were evaluated for sensory properties. The highest value of 2.13% crude protein was obtained for gari samples (Oko iyawo variety) while the least value was 1.80% (odongbo variety). For pupuru, the highest value was 1.70% (Oko iyawo variety) while the least was 1.52% (IITA variety). The cyanide content of gari samples from Oko iyawo had the highest value of 4.08 mgHCN/kg while Olekanga had the least value of 1.20 mgHCN/kg. For pupuru, Odongbo had the highest cyanide content of 3.31mgHCN/kg and IITA had the least value of 2.63mgHCN/kg. The mineral content showed that gari produced from IITA cassava varieties had the highest values in terms of iron, Copper and Zinc for all the cassava varieties likewise for that of pupuru except for magnesium where pupuru produced from oko iyawo cassava variety had the highest value. Gari samples produced from Oko iyawo cassava variety were scored highest in all the sensory parameters tested that makes the gari the most accepted whereas that of IITA cassava variety had lowest scored. Also, pupuru produced from Oko iyawo was scored highest in terms of taste and IITA cassava variety had lowest scored in terms of aroma, flavor, overall acceptability and appearance. This shows that gari and pupuru produced from IITA cassava variety were the least accepted.

Family planning is widely acknowledged as an important intervention towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) three (4) and five (5) as it has proven to reduce maternal and child mortality. Family planning can prevent unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions. The aim of this study was to determine various factors that influence the uptake of modern family planning among women of reproductive age in South-eastern Nigeria. The study used data obtained from Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2013. Factors considered were drawn from the dataset. Analysis was carried out using Stata version 12.1. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine relationship between various factors and use of modern family planning methods. Level of significance was set at 0.05. The total number of participants in the study was 2,816. Twelve point fifty seven percent (12.57%) of the participants were currently using modern family planning methods. The highest proportion of use was 25.57% in Ebonyi State, while the lowest was 16.94 % in Imo State. The only identified predictor of use of modern family planning use was educational status. The women who had at least secondary education were almost twice (1.82 times) more likely to use modern family planning methods than those who had only primary education or less (OR=1.82, 95% CI: 1.4-2.4, P<0.001). Measures should be taken to increase female literacy, as this will most likely lead to improved uptake of modern family planning among the respondents.

The potential presence of naturally occurring antimicrobials in petals of flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa L., (Malvaceae) was investigated against isolated eye pathogens. Owing to the usage of these flowers in common folklore medicine, the extracts of petals were screened for antibacterial activity against pathogenic microbes isolated from the eyes of eye infected persons. Bioactive compounds were extracted by cold extraction method, wherein Methanol, ethyl acetate and dichloromethane were used as solvents. The antibacterial activity of the extracts was assessed by agar well diffusion method. The study revealed that the extracts possessed antibacterial activity in a dose dependent manner. Among the tested flower extracts of Hibiscus sabdariffa, DCM extract showed better activity on most of the ocular pathogens tested. Hence the DCM extracts of petals of the flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa can be used to discover antibacterial agent for developing new pharmaceuticals to treat eye infections.

Fistula in Ano is a simple anorectal condition, however, has the potential to cause high morbidity. The usual line of surgical treatment for simple fistula in ano includes fistulotomy with marsupialization and fistulectomy. The present study was aimed to determine the overall outcomes after treatment of patients with fistulotomy with marsupialization and fistulectomy and compare the results in terms of post-operative complications and recurrences. Methods: The study involved 70 patients diagnosed with simple fistula in ano. Patients with morbid medical conditions and those diagnosed with complex fistulas were excluded from the study. The Clinical examination included perineal inspection, palpation, digital rectal examination and proctoscopic evaluation. The patients were then randomly divided into two groups. The group I patients underwent fistulectomy and the group II underwent fistulotomy with marsupialization. The patients were operated under general or regional anesthesia. The anorectal examination was done to verify the findings of the clinical examination. The patency of the tract was checked using the probe to the external opening. Seventy patients diagnosed with simple anal fistula were involved in the study. The mean distance of external fistula opening in group I was 2.6 ± 0.54 cms and the mean distance in group II was 2.5 ± 1.05. The duration of symptoms in group I and group II was 7.60 ± 2.9 and 8.85 ± 3.2 weeks respectively. The mean duration of surgery in group I was 12.5 ± 2.2, was 9.95 ± 1.25 in group II. Post-operative healing of the wounds was earlier in group II 4.06 ± 0.95 as compared to group I 5.15 ± 2.5. The mean VAS score was calculated on the 3rd postoperative day in both the group of patients. In group I the mean VAS score was 2.25 and the mean VAS score in Group II was 2.25. No patient in the study developed the wound infection and none had other complications. Conclusions: Within the limitations of the present study it can be concluded that fistulotomy with marsupialization and fistulectomy are equally effective in terms of the outcomes of treatment of simple fistula in ano. Although fistulectomy requires longer post-operative healing and the mean VAS scores were higher in the fistulectomy group then compared to fistulotomy group. No recurrence and occurrences of complications were noted in both the groups.

Legumes provide good source of protein, complex carbohydrate, dietary fibre, essential vitamins and minerals and are used as food and feed purposes. In most of the developing countries, animal protein is expensive and as an alternative, legumes are consumed majorly as a source of protein. They further complement proteins from other plant sources, such as, cereal grains where they contribute essential amino acids to the diets in different parts of the world. Aside the nutritional content, they also possess nonnutrients components otherwise known as the bioactive compounds, which include inhibitors of proteases and amylases, lectins, saponins, phytic acid and phenolic compounds. Out of all these bioactive compounds, phenolic compounds are of great importance because, apart from contributing to the seed colour and sensory characteristics of the seed, they also provide several biological properties with proposed health-related benefits. Phenolic compounds are natural bioactive compounds found in legumes used for combating free radicals and reducing the oxidative damage responsible by chronic diseases.

The ferment of cassava is prepared according to various methods by the producers of Attiéké, according to the ethnic group. During the investigation, five main methods of preparation of the cassava ferment, used for the production of Attiéké, were identified. The method of preparation of the ferment from the raw cassava, begin with the cutting roughly or small cylindrical pieces of the not peeled cassava tubers, before the fermentation by all of the producers of Attiéké of the ethnic group Abouré (9.4 %). The fermentation time is of 3 days for the whole boiled and braised peeled cassava, of 2 days for the cassava cut in pieces boiled and of 4 days for the braised not peeled and raw cassava. The packing material is constitutes in the majority of the cases (51.1 %) of bag of polypropylene (collectively called bag of rice or salt). The fishing net and the bag of jute are particularly also used for the ethnic groups Adjoukrou and Abouré. However, the plastic bag is used to create the waterproofness of the packing material and the envelope of the bark of the palm tree to favor the colonization of the cassava by germs fermentatives for the ethnic group Attié. Only the ferment of cut boiled cassava in certain cases, does not undergo cleaning before its use in the process of preparation of Attiéké.

Performance management is the process by which organisations set goals, determine standards, assign and evaluate work, and distribute rewards. But when you operate across different countries and continents, performance management strategies cannot be one dimensional. HR managers need systems that can be applied to a range of cultural values. This paper briefly looks at the various perspectives on this phenomenon.
