The ability to communicate effectively in English is fundamental to academic success in Nigerian universities, yet persistent low achievement in the compulsory “Use of English” course remains a concern, particularly in specialized institutions like maritime universities where proficiency underpins both academic performance and professional competence. This study addresses the limitation of reactive academic support systems by employing unsupervised machine learning to analyze English language le...

Background: Migration of healthcare professionals from low- and middle-income countries poses major challenges to health system performance. Workplace frustration, arising from structural and psychological constraints, may contribute to migration intention among healthcare workers. This study assessed the prevalence of workplace frustration and its association with migration intention among healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in North-Central Nigeria. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical ...

Women in Montserrado are constrained by structural factors that weaken the effectiveness of CBO training on income, asset control, and household deci-sion-making, and ineffective interventions are seldom discovered in existing evaluations. This research investigated the association between financial in-clusion interventions conducted by CBOs and women’s economic empow-erment, specifically on microfinance access, entrepreneurship training, fi-nancial services, and savings accounts. Using the Capa...

Forests provide a wide range of ecosystem services. Specifically, forests purify the air, filter water supplies, control floods and erosion, sustain biodiversity and genetic resources. In addition, they also provide recreation, cultural enrichment and educational services. Globally, there has been a significant decline in forest resources. The reduction of forest may involve individual trees of a given species at a given geographical coverage, site or specific species throughout its range or wit...

This study re-examines an archived survey of agrotourism visitors in Hualien, Taiwan region, and reframes the evidence as a descriptive Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) study rather than a causal test. The dataset contains 141 valid onsite questionnaires collected from visitors at multiple Hualien agrotourism venues. Destination image was measured through four adopted dimensions—product, quality, service, and price image—together with two behavioral-intention items on revisit and recommenda...

The activity concentrations of ²³⁸U, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K in sediments from the Kamukuywa River in Bungoma County were determined using a NaI(Tl) detector at South Eastern University Kenya, Physics Department in order to obtain the radium equivalent, absorbed dose rate, annual effective dose rate, hazard indices, radioelement concentrations (RC) and radiogenic heat production (RHP). The average activity concentrations for ²³⁸U, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰...

Orthodontic treatment of Class II division 1 malocclusion represents a clinical challenge due to its esthetic and functional implications, as well as the potential risk of relapse. This case report describes the orthodontic management of a 12-year-old patient presenting with a Class II division 1 malocclusion characterized by maxillary incisor protrusion and increased overjet. The treatment plan was based on Class II mechanics combined with the extraction of the maxillary first premolars, aiming...

This narrative review examines the interrelationships among personality traits, motivation for physical activity, and physical activity (PA) levels among university students. Despite the well-documented physical and psychological benefits of PA, participation rates among university students remain suboptimal. Drawing on the Big Five personality framework and Self-Determination Theory (SDT), the study reviews how stable personality dispositions shape motivational processes and, in turn, influence...

Non locality is a quantum phenomenon without classical counterpart. In this article, the well-known total null spin state of two entangled particles jointly generated, the singlet state, is analysed. It is concluded that special relativity is not violated for space time physical processes because the non local correlation is some kind of bidirectional relationship outside space time.

This systematic review examines the empirical literature on teaching climate change as a socio-scientific issue (SSI) in secondary science education between 2021 and 2026. Following PRISMA guidelines, 43 peer-reviewed articles were analyzed to identify key instructional strategies, student learning outcomes, and implementation challenges. Findings reveal four primary instructional approaches: argumentation and debate, project-based learning, technology-enhanced modeling, and place-based/action-o...
