Abstract:

The main aim of this research was to assess the management of Instructional Programmes in State universities in South-South Nigeria. The research employed a descriptive survey research design. One research question and one null hypothesis guided the research. The population consisted of 13,741 academic and senior administrative staff from 6 State Universities in South-South Nigeria. The Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to determine the sample size. In the second stage sampling, Proportionate Stratified Sampling Technique was used with each University serving as a stratum to obtain the number of staff members that is proportionate, which resulted in the sample size of 389 respondents. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire designed by the researcher. Cronbach Alpha statistic was used to determine the internal consistency of the items. The result of the research, among others, showed both academic and administrative staff perceived that State Universities manage their staff personnel to a high extent or relatively well and that there was a significant difference between the mean rating scores of academic and administrative staff on the extent to which staff personnel are managed in State universities of South-South Nigeria. Academic and administrative staff perceived that financial resources were managed in State universities in South-South Nigeria relatively well. This means that the relative difficulties perceived to have been encountered by the products of State Universities in South-South Nigeria are either environmental or a result of other variables or dynamics that require deciphering for further research. The result showed that State governments, university managements, parents, scholarship boards, etcetera may confidently send their wards to State universities of South-South Nigeria also called the Niger Delta, for inculcation of university goals. The Study recommended among others that governments, and managements of State universities should increase grants (capital and recurrent) to universities, as this would help the universities to acquire facilities that would ensure the attainment of the universities mandate and vision. Keywords: academic staff, management of instructional programmes, senior administrative staff, state universities.

Abstract:

This study was conducted to analyze the perception of the rural woman about credit oriented self-help group in Delta State, Nigeria. A sample size of 110 respondents was used for the study and data were collected from them with the use of structured interview schedule and questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear regression equation model as the lead equation. It was revealed that the women farmers subscribed to self-help groups in order to be able to have access to credit (mean = 3.78), information (mean = 3.55), extension services (mean = 3.45). The respondents were satisfied with their respective self-help groups. However, they had some challenges such as inadequate access to extension services (mean = 3.55) and lack of commitment by the leaders (mean = 3.22) and members (mean = 3.19). Educational level and frequency of extension contact of the respondents were found to influence their perception on self-help groups at 5% level of significance. It is recommended that governmental and non-governmental organizations, and university agricultural extension departments should carry out a campaign on workshops for these groups on commitment and extension agencies should diversify their focus to include selfhelp groups and activities.

Abstract:

Background: Unwanted pregnancy which results in unsafe abortion and sexually transmitted disease such as HIV/AIDS can be avoided by using different contraceptive methods. Information on knowledge, attitude and practice of contraceptives among students is particularly important because of unwanted pregnancies as well as an everyday increase in number of STI and HIV/AIDS. Tactlessly, in Nigeria significant proportion of students who engages in premarital sex, either lack basic knowledge of contraception, or are ignorant of practices of contraceptive. This study aimed at studying sexuality, knowledge of contraceptive in among students in the College of Health of Health Science, Niger Delta University, Amassoma. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was conducted among two hundred (200) students of the College of Health of Health Science, Niger Delta University aged 16-30 years. Data collection was carried out using both self-administered questionnaire Results: The analysis of the data showed that majority of the students of the students in College of Health Science, Niger Delta University are about (84%) sexually experience with most of the first sexual experiences occurring within the 16-20 years’ age group. There is a high level of knowledge (83%) of contraceptive available and where to get them but the level of contraceptive use is relatively lower (61.5%) even for the sexually active notwithstanding their level of education. This could be attributed to the factors affecting contraceptive use identified by them which includes embarrassment to buy, lack of proper knowledge, fear of side effect, lack of money and disapproval by partners. Conclusion: Majority of the respondents have a good knowledge on contraceptive. There is need to renew sex education campaigns in our primary, secondary and tertiary institutions as well as educating parents on the need to teach their wards about sex. Keywords: Knowledge, Contraceptive, Student, Bayelsa State.

Abstract:

Background: During the formation of the limbs, a simultaneous production of androgens occurs. It has also been noticed that when genetic process is inhibited, it can lead to complications affecting the limbs. It is therefore believed that testosterone influences the development of the limbs. Aim: This study therefore looked at the association between second toe length and androgen linked behaviours. Materials and Method: Three hundred (166 males and 134 females) subjects who were students of Basic Medical Sciences, Delta State University, Abraka aged 18 and above, were selected using the cross-sectional descriptive study design. Second toe length was observed, standardize questionnaire on handedness, competition and aggregation was administered to students. Data obtained were analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Results: This study established a significant association between 2nd toe length and some androgen linked behaviours. Significant association between subjects with longer 2nd toe and competitiveness was observed (p<0.05) as well as aggressive behavior. Conclusion: From this study, it was deduced that androgens influence 2nd toe length and 2nd toe length also influences androgen linked behaviours such as competition and aggression.

Abstract:

The focus of this research paper is on the causes and effects of Youth Restiveness and Militancy in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria, as perceived by the Niger Delta University undergraduates in Bayelsa State of Nigeria: Implication for counselling. The design adopted for the study is the descriptive survey design. One thousand Six hundred and ninety (1690) undergraduate students of Niger Delta University formed the population of the study. While the sample size comprised 338 undergraduates selected through random sampling technique from the education faculty of the university. The researchers developed the Youth Restiveness and Militancy (YRM) Questionnaire with 21 items and used it for the study. Three research questions and two hypotheses were formulated for this study. For the two hypotheses, there were no significant differences on the basis of gender in the perceived factors responsible for youth restiveness and militancy in the Niger Delta Region and the perceived causes of youth restiveness and militancy on religion issues. The major issues shown on the results include slow or casual approach of government, corruption, unemployment, poverty and bad governance which are causal issues of the cankerworms. Furthermore, from the results, there were evidence that youth restiveness and militancy may culminate in economic stagnation, fear and suspicions, political instability, terrorism, et-cetera. Remediations to the canker worms include creation of employment for the youths, provision of counselling services in schools and communities, poverty eradication by government and so on. The following recommendations were made as fallouts from the study which included peace education at all levels of education, job creation for all youths and the provision of counselling services in the universities, secondary schools and the communities.

Abstract:

The use of substance by university academics in recent times is a cause for concern especially due to the negative implications of its misuse. The social climate in the university is gradually changing in spite of its setting which is meant for educating and reforming individuals, as new forms of social organizations have evolved wherein academics get involved in indiscriminate substance use as a result. This research was undertaken to investigate the reasons why academics engaged in substance use and to find out the difference in its use, based on gender and socio-economic status of the respondents. The study adopted the descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprised 833 academic staff. A total of 113 academics who were randomly selected from six out of twelve faculties in the university participated in the study. Three Research questions and two research hypotheses were generated to guide the study. A researcher designed instrument named ‘University Academics’ Substance Use Questionnaire’ was used to generate data, and analyzed using mean scores, standard deviations and the t-test. Results indicated that a higher number of male than female academics engaged in substance use due to emotional and psychological reasons; and that alcohol, tobacco and caffeine were the most frequently used substances. The predisposing factors to substance use were amongst others, early parental and cultural initiation. The t-test also showed statistically significant differences in substance use based on gender and socio-economic status of the respondents. Based on the findings, recommendations were made.

This study investigated the competencies of librarians as a factor affecting information service delivery in Delta state university (DELSU) library and Federal university of petroleum resources (FUPRE) library. The main objective of the study was to determine the extent to which information and competencies of librarians in DELSU and FUPRE affect their information service delivery. The instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire. A descriptive survey design was used in this study. A total of 61 librarians were selected using the total enumeration sampling technique since the total population was manageable. A total of 52 copies of the questionnaire were retrieved and analyzed using simple percentage, mean score, and standard deviation. The findings of this study show that: the majority of the respondents possess high extent of the ICT skills, majority have high extent of customer-service competency, and most librarians possess high extent of competency in interpersonal communication. It was concluded that these skills, though basic are a good platform that increases the effect of relevant information service delivery in the library. A minor but regular training was said to be what will do the magic.

Abstract:

The use of illicit drugs in recent times in modern sport has become an issue of growing concern. This study assessed the factors responsible for the use of illicit drugs by medical students in sports in Delta State University Abraka The target population included five departments in the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences of Delta State University Abraka. A cross-sectional survey design was conducted among 1,436 medical student athletes of the College of Health Sciences of Delta State University Abraka and random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 143 respondents. A researcher-made confidential questionnaire was the instrument used for the collection of data. A coefficient index score (r) of 0.78 was obtained which ascertained the internal consistency of the instrument was reliable. A total of 120 questionnaires were successfully retrieved and used for data analysis. Mean score and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were adopted as statistical tools for analyzing the obtained data. There was significant (p<0.05) relationship between the age of medical students and their knowledge of illicit drugs used in sports, however, there was no significant (p>0.05) relationship between the gender of the students and their knowledge of illicit drugs used in sports. Similarly, there was no significant (p>0.05) relationship between type of school of medical students and knowledge of illicit drugs used in sports. Findings from the study further equally revealed that there was no significant (p>0.05) relationship between parental background and medical students’ knowledge of use of illicit drugs in sports. Based on the findings of this study, it is obvious age was supported to determine the use of illicit drugs in sports by medical in sports, hence, the need for stringent policies to be censored especially towards the age requirement for medical student participation while adopting adequate measures to curtail the use of illicit drug among medical students.

Abstract:

This article reports on a study that explored the challenges of using electronic information resources (EIRs) for academic research by post-graduate students at Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, Nigeria. The study used a structured questionnaire, distributed to 150 post-graduate students from the faculties of Sciences, Social Sciences and Arts, that is, 50 post-graduate students per faculty, and personal interviews were held with selected individuals within the institution to collect data. The central focus of the study was the post-graduate studentsâ€™ access to EIRs; the current status of EIRs in their institution; how often they use these resources for academic research purposes; and above all, the challenges that they encounter when using EIRs. The findings showed that post-graduate studentsâ€™ optimal use of EIRs at DELSU is hampered by limited access to some EIRs due to limited space, low bandwidth, and erratic power supply. It is, therefore, recommended that DELSU should provide adequate space and power supply and should address some of the issues deterring equitable access to EIRs. Development of an institutional repository and use of open access resources would also improve access to scientific and electronic information.

Abstract:

Objective: The study aimed to determine the prevalence of kidney impairment (KI) and associated factors among HIV antiretroviral treatment (ART) - naïve patients in Bayelsa State in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. Methodology: A retrospective study was carried out in the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital (NDUTH) using case notes of patients who presented from 2011 – 2020. Socio-demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were retrieved. The Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Epidemiology (EPI) Collaboration formula and Cockcroft Gault equation were used in estimating the glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and creatinine clearance (CrCl) respectively. KI was defined as eGFR < 60 mls/min. Results: The prevalence of KI was 13.8%. Up to 59.5 % had CrCl below 90mls/min. KI showed significant association with age >45 years, married status, presence of co-morbidity, and high HIV RNA load. However, only age was independently associated with KI {AOR 3.4{CI 1.2- 9.6 p = 0.018)}. Conclusion: The prevalence of KI was 13.8% while up to 50.5% had reduced CrCl. Age < 45 years was the only determinant of KI though ‘being married’, having co-morbidities and high viral load also showed significant association. There is a need for regular assessment of renal function in HIV- infected patients.

Abstract:

Background: Jadelle (Norplant 2) is a levonorgestrel contraceptive implants that is safe, reversible, convenient, very effective and suitable for many women. Although it has numerous benefits, its use is still discontinued due to various reasons including side effects in the body of acceptors. Objective: To determine the prevalence rate, side effects, discontinuation rate and reasons for discontinuation of Jadelle at Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH), Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Methods: A retrospective study of 874 clients attending birth control clinic at the RSUTH from 1st January, 2015 – 31st December, 2019 was conducted. Their records were recovered from the clinic and studied. Data was extracted, coded and investigated using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) IBM version 25.0 (Armonk, NY). Results: Of 874 acceptors of contraceptives within the study period, one hundred and forty two used Jadelle giving an uptake rate of 16.2%. Jadelle use accounted for third most used contraceptive after implanon and intra uterine contraceptive device (IUCD) during the study period. The mean age was 32.9+4.21 years. Most age group was 30-34 years accounting for 57.8%. Age range was 20-48 years and most (81.7%) were multiparous. Christians accounted for 99.3% and 98.4% were married. All the clients had formal education. Thirty nine (27.5%) acceptors discontinued the use. Most were due to menorrhagia (33.3%) and desire for pregnancy (23.1%).
