This study assessed effect of climate change on secondary school Islamic Studies curriculum implementation in Kwara State. This study adopted descriptive survey design. The population for this study was all secondary school teachers in Kwara State. Muti-stage sampling technique was adopted in the study. Out of 90 respondents proposed to use in the study only 78 (70.2%) were available. An adapted questionnaire from Sergio et al. (2024) titled: Effects of Climate Change on Secondary School Islamic Studies Curriculum Implementation (ECCSSISCI) was used in this study. Descriptive statistical tools used in the study were percentage, mean and standard deviation while inferential statistical tool adopted was t-test. The findings of this study revealed that revealed that population of male teachers taking Islamic Studies at secondary schools in Kwara State is higher than females. Similarly, the study showed that the effect of climate change on secondary school Islamic Studies curriculum implementation in Kwara State is moderate with average mean score of 2.64. Furthermore, the study indicated that there is significant difference in the effect of climate change on secondary school Islamic Studies curriculum implementation in Kwara State based on gender and school location. The study therefore, concluded that climate change generates certain circumstances that affect proper implementation of secondary school Islamic Studies curriculum in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study recommended that Teaching Service Commission in the state should train Islamic Studies teachers on how to manage every circumstance including climate change.
male patients referred with obstructive azospermia were selected for bilateral vasography. The F.S.H. was normal in 84.6 % of patients. testicu- lar biopsy showed normal spermatogenesis in all biopsied normal sized testes. Obstructions were epididymal in 6 patients, vasal in 6 patients and at the level of ejaculatory ducts in 4 patients. Congenital absence of the vas was unilateral in 6 patients and bilateral in 2 patients. Iatrogenic post- operative obstruction was present in 6 patients and post- inflammatory obstruction was found in 8 patients. The seminal vesicles were dilated uni- laterally in 4 patients and bilaterally in 2 patients. They were absent in 4 patients on both sides and in 2 patients on one side. They showed atrophy in 2 patients and were normal in the remaining 8 patients. Vasography proved to be an essential and reliable technique in the diagnosis of the level of obstructive azospermia as well as the underlying etiologic cause of obstruction.
Two field experiments were carried out at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Menoufia University, Shebin El-Kom, Egypt, to study the effect of different surface irrigation systems (basin irrigation, bed irrigation and gated pipes) and foliar application of some growth stimulants (control, amino acids, humic acid, compost tea, seaweed extract and yeast extract) on yield and grain quality of bread wheat (Giza 171) during 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 seasons.Irrigation systems significantly affected on most characters studied.Using gated pipes was superior to the other irrigation systems in yield and its components (number of spikes/ m 2 , number of grains/spike, 1000-grain weight, grain yield /fed and straw and biological yields/fed) and grain quality (protein, wet and dry gluten %) especially basin irrigation which registered the lowest ones.However, moisture, ash, fats and fiber percents in grains did not significantly affect by different irrigation systems.Foliar application of yeast extract or seaweed extract exhibited superiority in all yield and its components as well as grain quality (protein, wet and dry gluten %) in comparison with other tested growth stimulants especially control.Treated plants with compost tea and untreated plants recorded the highest carbohydrates in grains.However, moisture, ash, fats and fiber percents in grains did not significantly affect by various growth stimulants.The interaction between irrigation systems and growth stimulants was found to be significant for most characters studied.Significant increases in most effective yield and grain quality traits were detected by irrigated plants with gated pipes and treated with yeast extract or seaweed extract.It could be concluded that irrigated plants with gated pipes and treated with yeast extract was the best combination treatment for maximizing grain yield and its quality under similar environmental conditions of the experiment site.
This study was carried out on Wistar albino rats to evaluate the toxicity of Aloe sinkatana plant which treats a variety of ailments, including skin diseases, constipation, fever and inflamed colon. The present study showed the effect of aqueous extract of A. sinkatana at three different doses 175, 300 and 500 mg\kg\day administered orally for 2weeks. The characteristic toxicity of the plant extract was evident on kidney, liver and intestine. This toxic effect is subsequent to changes in the activity of aspartate transaminase (AST) alanine transaminase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzymes and the concentration of Globulin in serum and caused normocytic hypochromic anemia.
