Abstract

The issue of iodine deficiency is a historic threat that affects all regions of the world. Iodine is a critical element belonging to the halogens that is used to make vital hormones (thyroid hormones) for the proper functioning of the human or mammalian body. Iodine is obtained from the diet of either plant or animal origin or water. Iodine for plants uptake is obtained from soil, which is affected by the nature of the environment such as climate, locations, topography, iodine fixation potential, proximity to sea and relations. The failure of the proper iodine cycling spurs a poor intake by humans. Poor dietary intake of iodine occurs at different levels, but the entire complex dealing with poor iodine intake is termed as iodine deficiencies, such as goiter, cretinism, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism. Effects resulting from iodine deficiency are many and enormous. The iodine deficiency among other things affect the brain (nervous system functioning) probably because it affects the whole body metabolism when thyroid hormones are insufficient, and neurotransmitters and oxidative stress regulations are limited. It is important to deliberately educate the public, fortify foods properly, give iodine supplements, monitor iodine deficiencies, and utilize diverse foods; because IDD cause mental retardation among other things.

Abstract

Copper is vital for human biological system especially for learning functions. The objective of this paper was to determine the effects of serum copper on learning ability among adolescents in Sokoto, Nigeria. Therewith, serum copper concentrations of the 230 recruited adolescents’ in-school from Sokoto, Nigeria were analyzed using the atomic absorption spectroscopy method, and reagents of analytical grade. The investigation of effect of copper concentration on learning potential was done in a quasi-experimental format. The findings (p<0.05) of serum copper concentration revealed mean serum copper in healthy subjects was 211(91.74%); serum copper deficient subjects were 19(8.26%). The low copper concentration observed based on age shows, 13(5.6%) of 14-16 years; and 6(2.6%) of 16-18 years. Observation of copper level in relation to learning potential show a mean of 62.28 in normal participants, and 36.92 in low copper participants. There is need for utmost diverse nutritional intervention on zinc consumption. There are still some adolescents that have low copper level in the state, and it may affect their learning and entire learning. Thus, it is important to provide better nutrition through using disparate intervention methods to bail the situation.

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the optical properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) based polymer films, incorporating methylene blue (MB) dye and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), for their potential application in gamma radiation dosimetry. Specifically, this research aims to explore the effects of gamma radiation on the color change characteristics, optical absorption spectra, activation energy, and optical band gap energy of the PVA-MB-TCA polymer films. Additionally, the study seeks to assess the stability of these polymer films under varying doses of gamma radiation, ranging up to 14 kGy. The PVA-MB-TCA polymer films were prepared using a solvent-casting method. The polymer film samples were then exposed to gamma radiation from a 60Co source, with doses up to 14 kGy. The study observed significant color changes in the polymer films, transitioning from blue at 0 kGy to light blue-near transparent at 14 kGy. Spectrophotometric analysis identified three distinct wavelengths of maximum absorption at 360 nm, 440 nm, and 560 nm. As the radiation dose increased, absorption values decreased at 360 nm and 440 nm, while an opposite trend was noted at 560 nm. Furthermore, the activation energy of the polymer films was found to decrease with increasing radiation doses, indicating a reduction in the energy barriers for internal reactions. Similarly, the optical band gap energy also showed a decreasing trend with higher radiation doses across all types of transitions. These results demonstrate that the PVA-MB-TCA polymer films undergo significant optical and structural changes when exposed to gamma radiation, highlighting their potential utility as reliable high-dose radiation dosimeters. The stability of these films under radiation further supports their applicability in various fields requiring precise radiation dose monitoring, such as medical sterilization, food processing, and environmental safety.

Abstract

Nowadays, the consumption of empty calories is predominating in various societies, including among the children. This is sad, because it is link to adversaries such as hypertension, cancer, diabetes, etc.  Thus, this study examined the role of parents in curbing empty calorie consumption among primary school children using a survey method among 160 respondents (key informants).  A questionnaire was utilized in conducting the survey research and the findings revealed that parents play a significant cognitive and behavioral role in promoting healthy eating habits among children. Cognitive roles included providing basic nutrition education (63.8%), helping children understand food labeling (21.3%), and meal planning (15.0%). Behavioral roles included demonstrating healthy eating (23.8%), providing healthy food options (38.1%), and monitoring food intake (19.4%). However, factors such as poor nutritional awareness (35.0%), poverty (41.9%), and work-life balance (23.1%) hindered parental involvement. Initiatives to improve parental involvement included creating nutritional awareness (49.4%), legislation (20.0%), job creation (13.1%), and counseling on work-life balance (17.5%). The study highlights the importance of parental involvement in promoting healthy eating habits among children.

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

This study investigates the impact of integrating ethnoscience with problem-based learning (PBL) on the enhancement of critical thinking skills among secondary school students. Employing a nonequivalent control group design with purposive sampling, the research involved 66 students from a Nigerian secondary school, divided into experimental (n=31) and control (n=35) groups. The experimental group engaged in a PBL curriculum enriched with ethnoscience, while the control group received traditional expository teaching. The study aimed to bridge the gap in current educational practices by incorporating cultural relevance into science education, thus making learning more meaningful and directly applicable to students' lives. Results indicated a significant improvement in the critical thinking abilities of the experimental group, as evidenced by their pretest and posttest scores, compared to the control group. The findings underscore the effectiveness of the ethnoscience-integrated PBL approach in fostering higher-order thinking skills, suggesting a notable advancement over conventional teaching methods. This research contributes to the educational literature by demonstrating the benefits of combining ethnoscience and PBL, advocating for a shift towards more dynamic, student-centered, and culturally relevant teaching strategies. The study highlights the importance of contextual learning experiences and suggests further exploration across various disciplines and educational levels to validate the approach's effectiveness and applicability.
