The Normative survey research has been conducted on Anxiety Level to the random sample of 731 XI standard students of Thanjavur District, Tamilnadu State. In this study, the investigator has used independent variable is Anxiety and the dependent variable is Academic Achievement.  Gender, Locality, and Medium of Instruction are the demographic variables.  Descriptive, inferential and correlation analyses were used to testing the hypotheses. The study reveals that the anxiety level of XI standard students is moderate and the Academic Achievement is in first class; Both Anxiety and Academic Achievement are significant with Gender, Locality of School and Medium of Instruction. The correlation between Anxiety and Academic Achievement is high negative correlation.

The study examined the extent of Academic Achievement of Day and Boarding Secondary Schools Students in Onitsha Education Zone of Anambra State. Three research questions guided the study and survey research design was adopted. Descriptive survey research design was used for the study. The population of the study consisted 850 teachers within Onitsha Education Zone in Anambra State. The sample size consisted 85 teachers and was selected using simple random sampling. The instrument used for data collection was questionnaire and the data collected were analyzed with mean. The findings revealed that boarding students academically achieve better than day students and that day students are distracted at home unlike boarding school students who are under the control of teachers for their study. It was concluded that lack of finance, educational facilities and inadequate infrastructures are the factors that affect the academic achievement of both the day and boarding students. The researchers recommended among others that students should be allowed to attend boarding schools so as to perform better and that government should intervene in schools by providing them with academic and boarding facilities

The objective of the present study was to examine variation in the shape and size of pronotum, hind femur, and head in the males of Orphulellapunctata (De Geer, 1773) from three different Brazilian biomes: the Cerrado, the Atlantic Forest, and the Pantanal. A total of 150 specimens were analyzed from three populations. The results of MANOVA indicated significant differences (p<0.01) in the shape of the analyzed structures of O.punctata from the different biomes. The results of ANOVA demonstrated significant differences (p<0.05) in the size of all analyzed structures. Pearson’s correlation analyses among the different structures and the environmental variables revealed that the shape of pronotum, hind femur, and head (dorsal view), as well as the size of pronotum and head (dorsal and lateral views) varied with the geographic longitude, while the shape of hind femur and head (dorsal view) showed a significant negative correlation with size. Results indicated that the shape and size of the analyzed structures, in general, were influenced by the geographical variables.

Metabolisable Energy

The present study was conducted to determine and compare the digestible (DE) and metabolisable energy (ME) and the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of gross energy (GE) in yellow-dent corn, three low-tannin white sorghum cultivars and three high-tannin red sorghum cultivars when fed to growing pigs. Forty-two barrows (34.8 ± 3.1 kg bodyweight) were housed in metabolic crates and allotted to one of seven diets with six pigs per diet in a completely randomised design. The seven diets were formulated to contain 969 g/kg of corn or one of the six sorghum cultivars as well as 31 g/kg vitamin and minerals. Faeces and urine were collected for 5 days following a 7-day adaptation period. The DE and ME were lower (P < 0.05) for red sorghum than for corn while the values for corn were lower (P < 0.05) than those obtained for white sorghum. The ATTD of GE for pigs fed corn was higher (P < 0.05) than for pigs fed red sorghum but was lower (P < 0.05) than the ATTD of GE for pigs fed white sorghum. Tannin had a high negative correlation with DE and ME (both, r = –0.99; P < 0.01) and the ATTD of GE (r = –0.92; P < 0.01). The DE, ME and ATTD of GE were positively correlated with CP (P < 0.05), and negatively with kafirin/CP and phenols (P < 0.05). However, tannin was negatively correlated with CP (r = –0.85; P < 0.05), or positively with kafirin/CP (r = 0.88; P < 0.01) and phenols (r = 0.77; P < 0.05). Therefore, tannin content in sorghum may be the main anti-nutritional factor. The overall results of this study indicate that low-tannin white sorghum varieties are superior to high-tannin red sorghum varieties for use as an energy source in diets fed to growing pigs, and high-tannin red sorghum varieties should be incorporated into pig diets to ease the demand pressure on corn only if favourably priced in terms of their DE and ME values.

The research aim is to identify the correlation between circadian rhythm in terms of changes in the chronotype of human working capacity and severity of psoriasis progression, obesity, and the disease impact on the quality of patients' life. Materials and Methods. The research focuses on the determination of the PASI, BMI, DIAG indexes and a patient's chronotype of working capacity. Results and Discussion. The results of the correlation analysis showed a very high negative correlation between chronotype of patients' working capacity and BMI. They also demonstrated a high negative correlation between PASI and DIAG indicators and chronotype of patients' working capacity. Conclusions. The circadian rhythm changes to the evening chronotype of human working capacity contribute to psoriasis worsening, weight gain, and negative impact of the disease on the quality of patients' life.

This study aims to identify the level of cyberbullying among a sample consisting of teenager students in the city of Mafraq in Jordan. It also aims to identify the differences at the level of cyberbullying in terms of gender, educational level, and academic achievement. The sample of the study was composed of 160 male and female students randomly selected from four schools of the education directorate in the northeast desert in 2020. Cyberbullying scale was employed in this research. The results revealed that the level of cyberbullying among adolescent students was moderate. Findings also suggested that there are differences at the level of cyberbullying between students in terms of gender, educational level, and academic achievement. In addition, the results suggested differences between the participants attributed to the interaction between gender and academic achievement and the interaction between educational level and academic achievement.

<p>This study aims to investigate the impact of applying the electronic cheque clearing system on employees’ satisfaction in Accounting Departments’ of Jordanian Islamic banks. The population of this study was the employees who work at the Accounting Departments. A random sample of (150) employees who work in Accounting departments, particularly clearing directory in the Islamic Banks in Jordan were chosen to be the sample of the study. One hundred and fifty questionnaires were distributed to the employees who work in clearing directory and those who worked in this directory in the Islamic Banks in Jordan. The results indicate that there is a weak impact of the independent variable the applying ECC system (Reliability, Responsiveness, Tangibility and Privacy) on the dependent variable (Employees’ Satisfaction) in Jordanian Islamic banks. Against expectation, the results show that only Tangibility has a positive and significant relationship with ‘Employees’ Satisfaction. The researchers recommended that employees’ satisfaction in bank sector may affect customers’ satisfaction positively or negatively because most of employees in this sector deal with customers face to face.</p>

Advantages And Disadvantages

In this article, community assessments of support for three levels of open adoption are examined, including two types of mediated adoption, fully disclosed adoption, and confidential adoption. Combining telephone survey data from a Canada-wide random sample of 706 respondents with 82 qualitative interviews, the authors report on community assessments of these levels of openness and the relevance of these results for other survey research conducted on these issues. The authors also explore community assessments of the perceived advantages and disadvantages of open adoption and confidential adoption for adoptive parents, birthparents, and adopted children and how these may or may not reflect clinical assessments. Finally, the authors consider the implications of these results for clinical initiatives with members of the adoption triangle.
