Relationship between Audio-visual Materials and Environmental Factors on Students Academic Performance in Senior Secondary Schools in Borno State: Implications for Counselling

This is a survey study, designed to determine the relationship between audio-visual materials and environmental factors on students’ academic performance in Senior Secondary Schools in Borno State: Implications for Counselling. The study set two research objectives, and tested two research hypotheses. The population of this study is 1,987 students from three purposively selected Secondary Schools in Maiduguri. The sample size for this study was 110. The instruments used in this study consisted of Effect of Audio-visual and Environmental Influence on Student Academic Performance Questionnaire (EAEIAPQ) with reliability indices of 0.62. Based on the obtained indices coefficients, the instrument is reliable for use in this study. The data collected from students were tested using Pearson ‘r’ because Pearson correlates the relationship between two variables.  The results obtained in this study indicated that, that there was significant relationship between students’ academic performance and instructional materials, therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected and there was significant relationship between students’ academic performance and environmental factors. The null hypothesis was rejected. Recommendations were made to government, College Authorities and Counsellors since the relationship was good between the variables studied there is need for the school authorities to provide all the necessary instructional materials, government should also renovates the school building for better environment in all the Secondary School in Maiduguri Borno State

This study used Purposive Sampling Technique to select two Colleges of Education; Krejcie and Morgan’s (2006)’s principle of determining sample size for research was used to select the sample and proportionate sampling procedure was also employed to draw 322 NCE III students. The instruments used in this study consisted of Socio-economic Status Questionnaire (SESQ), student’s self-concept scale (SSS) and Students’ Academic Performance Aptitude Tests (SAPAT) with reliability indices of 0.87, 0.62 and 0.62 respectively. Based on the obtained indices coefficients, both the instruments were reliable for use in this study. Descriptive startistic was used to answer the research questions and t-test was used to test the hypotheses The results obtained in this study indicated that, there was significant differences exist between gender and socio-economic status among the students in Colleges of Education in Borno State. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected. Recommendations were made to government, College Authorities, parents, counsellors and other stakeholders in education, that College counsellors should use their techniques to counsel students to sustain and maintain the good relationship between the variables under study in Colleges of Education in Borno State.

A. T. Goni Kharkiv National Medical University, Ministry of Health of Ukraine , Department of Surgery № 2 SummaryPresents an analysis of the results of treatment of 29 patients with late radiation damage of superficial tissues. Studied the effectiveness of different types of skin plastics at different locations of radiation ulcers. Operated patients were divided by the type of plastic: plastic with local tissues (3 patients, 30%), free dermepenthesis (2 patients, 20%) and unfree dermepenthesis (5 patients, 50%).

Analysis of Resource-Use Efficiency in Dry Season Vegetable Production in Jere, Borno State, Nigeria

This study examined the resource-use efficiency in vegetable production in Jere   L.G.A. of Borno State, Nigeria. Data for the study were obtained from primary source with the aid of a structured questionnaire using the interview schedule. The data were for 2010 cropping season collected between October-December of 2010. Five villages notable for vegetables production were purposely chosen for the study and responses from 100 vegetable farmers from the four villages were used in the analyses. Production function analysis which incorporates the conventional neoclassical test of economic and technical efficiencies was used as the analytical technique. Findings revealed that seed (p<0.01), land (p<0.01), herbicide (p<0.10) and pesticide (p<0.01) significantly affected the vegetable output. And the farmers were inefficient in the use of all the resources. Farm inputs such as seed, land and pesticide were under-utilized while herbicide, fertilizer and labour were over-utilized. The study concludes that if additional units of seed, pesticide and land were available and accessible, it would lead to an increase in vegetable yield by 114.58, 322.64 and 568.72kg per hectare among the farmers respectively. The study suggests that there is need for making inputs such as improved seeds and herbicide affordable and accessible to the farmers so as to improve efficiency. Also policies that encourage the testing of soils fertility for fertilizer recommendations and creation of alternative employment opportunities to absorb the excess labour used in vegetable production in the area should be formulated. Key words: Resource-use, efficiency, production function, jere, vegetable, productio

ON THE DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF ROLLING BASE ISOLATION SYSTEMS

SUMMARY In the present paper, the dynamic behavior of a rolling isolation device composed of cylinders moving in between two rubber layers is studied from a theoretical point of view. The device reduces the seismic energy both by decoupling the motion of the structure from the base and through the visco-elastic behavior of the rubber (or neoprene). The behavior and the efficacy of this device is explained by relations obtained for the rolling friction coefficient versus the rolling velocity and for the horizontal force versus the vertical load acting on the device. Future studies will aim to determine the appropriate dimensions of the elements composing the isolator that most reduce seismic vibrations in structures. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
