Abstract

Education is a right to every child, but Sokoto is suffering from many issues ravaging education, therewith, a major issue is the Almajiri school. Because the Almajiri schools are abandoned there is every tendency that their drinking water is contaminated considering the rising pattern of pollution across the globe. The aim of the study was to carry out an analysis of heavy metal content in well water and propel some predictive insights for students well-being in Almajiri schools in Sokoto, Nigeria.  Samples of well water were collected from Almajiri schools in Sokoto state and metals were analyzed using atomic abortion spectroscopy. 60.10 ± 5.1 to 600.1± 0.01, 100.1 ± 0.5 to 600.0 ± 0.02, are the ranges of calcium, and magnesium macroelements determined.  The ranges for essential heavy metals zinc, and iron are as follows; 2.34 ± 0.05 to 5.00 ± 0.02 (zinc), and 0.54± 0.05 to 10.43 ± 0.5 (iron) respectively. The ranges of Pb, Hg, and Cd assessed are as follows: lead (0.0 to 1.06 ± 0.005), mercury (0.10 ± 0.002 to 2.501 ± 0.01), and cadmium (0.00122 ±0.0004 to 0.0761 ± 0.0001). The HI for the heavy metals determined are in the order of schools B>D>A>C. The metals determined are either excess or little (with respect to essential heavy metals) in many cases.  In one school, the HI is far above 1 and therefore risk the population with effects. Thus, can elicit harm to the consumers. They can affect the academic, cognitive capacity of the Alamjiri children. There is need to take proper measures to save the health and future development of the Almajiri child against heavy metals poisoning possibility.

Abstract

This study investigated the efficacy of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing students' problem-solving abilities in physics education, addressing the lack of effective methodologies in nurturing this crucial skill. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, 58 secondary school students from Nigeria were divided into an experimental group, which received PBL instruction, and a control group, which received traditional teaching methods. Over three months, both groups were assessed using an essay test format before and after the intervention, focusing on problem-solving abilities related to force and motion concepts. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were employed to evaluate the pretest, posttest, and n-gain scores, revealing significant improvements in problem-solving abilities within the experimental group compared to the control group. Specifically, students exposed to the PBL model exhibited higher average scores and greater improvement in problem-solving skills across various indicators, including understanding the problem, developing a plan, implementing the plan, and reflecting on solutions. The findings underscored the effectiveness of the PBL model in fostering active engagement, collaborative learning, and structured problem-solving processes, aligning with contemporary educational approaches that prioritize practical skill development and critical thinking. This study contributed to the growing body of literature supporting the efficacy of PBL in enhancing problem-solving abilities, highlighting its potential to cultivate a dynamic learning environment conducive to the development of essential skills in physics education.

Abstract

It is widely stressed that girl-child education is good; and girls could only learn properly if they are fed well. Levels of micronutrients such as antioxidants vitamins A and C could lead to poor brain or nervous system functions. The objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship between Micronutrients deficiencies (poor levels of antioxidants Vitamin A and Vitamin C) and academic performance of selected young girls in Sokoto, Nigeria. This work determined blood levels of vitamin A and C in 250 young girls in Sokoto using standard methods and materials of analytical grade. A semi experimental study involving 40 selected study participants was done. An exploration of academic performance of subjects that are with enough vitamin C and A and their counterparts was done using assessment. This study shows that, the girls with normal levels of antioxidants vitamins A and C scored a mean mark (55.0+ 13.015) more than those with poor levels (35.63+12.63) (p<0.05). This signifies that nutritional concerted interventions are needed. Nutritional education, soil fertilization, bio fortification, and relations could be used for improving public diet in the state.

Abstract

Eggs are important component of human diet worldwide. They provide the human body with diverse array of substances including metal elements. Due to pollution the eggs can incorporate metals at levels that are harmful. Thus, the objective of this work was to determine the levels of Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cd, Pb, and Cr in eggs in Sokoto, Nigeria and health risk therewith. The metals were determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results reveal, significantly (p<0.05) different concentrations of metals in commercial/ exotic and local chicken eggs in Sokoto, Nigeria as follows: The zinc (Local: 35.0 ± 1.5 ppm, Exotic: 30.12 ± 2.6 ppm) metal is the most elevated metal, followed by magnesium (Local:15.0 ± 0.05 ppm, Exotic:10.02 ± 1.5 ppm), then iron (Local: 7.0 ± 0.001 ppm, Exotic: 4.02 ± 0.001 ppm), then calcium (Local: 6.21 ± 0.01 ppm, Exotic: 5.01 ± 0.005 ppm). Others lower levels of metals are recorded by chromium (Local: 3.01 ± 0.05 ppm, Exotic: 4.51 ± 0.05 ppm), cadmium (0.061 ± 0.001 ppm detected in Exotic), and lead (Local: 0.05 ± 0.002 ppm, Exotic: 0.20 ± 0.002 ppm). The levels of essential metals found in eggs in this study are low, and levels of Cr, Cd, and Pb in exotic eggs are elevated. Similarly, health risk assessment result shows a public health concern. Care needs to be taken when consuming eggs by the public.

Abstract

In humans, micronutrients are special nutrients that are supposed to be obtained from diets in small amounts to aid body functioning, growth, and development. Micronutrients deficiency results due to low dietary nutrients intake and is currently a worldwide threat that affects humans in various ways, including learning or brain functioning. Sokoto State Nigeria due to its peculiarities such as arid land, poverty, poor education, single-diet nutrition, etc. should be of great risk of micronutrients deficiencies. The objective of this review paper is concerned about micronutrients deficiencies with regards to Sokoto State Nigeria and consequences on brain function. Micronutrients prevalence in Sokoto Nigeria, micronutrients in foods, insufficiency of nutrients in soil, consequences of excess micronutrients, micronutrients deficiencies, causes, etc. were described. Multifold approach to this myriad task should be put forward and tackled head-on; otherwise, the society (Sokoto) will languish continuously with maternal and child mortalities, abnormalities, mental derangements, aa well as poor productivity..

Abstract

The objective of this article is to deliver a conceptual review of implications of heavy metals intake for brains and certain dietary nutrients such as copper, zinc, etc. Heavy metals are metallic or relative elements that are described bases on certain characteristics such as higher density, toxicity, and likes. They are present ideally in the natural environment, therefore, have to be expunged through human activities which are currently excessive in nature. Humans take in heavy metals because of excessiveness of human activities and thereby causing detrimental effects on the body, brain, development, and nutritional growth. On the brain, heavy metals improvised ways to circumvent the wall of the bilayer and exert harm on certain areas of the brain. This lead to poor functioning of the brain, as well as the body. Similarly, the heavy metals utilized efforts such as molecular mimicry or chelation to outcompete or impede the functions of essential micronutrients required for body functioning. Cd2+ impede Cu2+, Ca2+, and Zn2+; Pb2+ also has the ability to impede essential elements. Other heavy metals such as chromium, arsenic, exert similar approaches. This review elucidated the following themes: Meaning of heavy metals, dietary sources of heavy metals, non-dietary sources of heavy metals, dietary nutrients for learning/cognition, implications of heavy metals to the Brian or quasi, effects of heavy metals on micronutrients. Food materials, and water should be safeguarded from heavy metals through disparate methods. Curative methods for heavy metals removal (remediation) should be made accessible to all.

Abstract

Background: Herbs are major players in present day therapy, especially by the locals. However, there are some secondary metabolites present in them that can act as antinutrients when consumed by humans. Thus, it is important to monitor the levels of antinutreints in herbal snuff to save the public, especially in Sokoto (a state battling with challenges of nutrients deficiency and malnutrition). Objective: The objective of this work was to measure levels of cyanide, nitrate, phytate, and oxalate, in herbal snuff in Sokoto, Nigeria. Methods: Snuffs were brought from Sokoto market and subjected to antinutritional analysis according to standard methods and using reagents/materials of analytical grade. Result: The amount of nitrate present in three herbal snuff brands sold in Sokoto, Nigeria show that, nitrate ranges from 18.81 ± 0.9 mg/100g (found in Hajiya Safiya snuff brand) to 21. 82 ± 0.08 mg/100g (found in Hajiya Aisha snuff brand). The concentrations of phytate in 3 brands of herbal snuffs revealed, the highest value (91.164 ± 0.001 mg/100g) was recorded in Hajiya Aisha, and the lowest (4.05 ± 0.04 mg/100g) was observed in Dr Lambo herbal brand. The concentrations of oxalate show that, the highest level (0.0787 ± 0.059 mg/100g) was found in Dr lambo, and lowest (0.0055 ± 0.0001 mg/100g) observed in Hajiya Aisha snuff. Then, levels of cyanide in herbal snuff show, the highest value (25.68 ± 1.45 mg/ 100g) was recorded in Dr Lambo snuff brand, and the lowest level of cyanide was recorded in Hajiya Safiya (19.32 ± 1.04 mg/ 100g). Conclusion: The snuffs contain the assessed antinutrients at levels that are not likely to pose risk.
