The Partner of this activity was SDN Pilang Kanor District Bojonegoro District. The majority of Pilang villagers work as farmers. From the agricultural production, they produce abundant organic waste. In addition, the organic waste is also produced from household kitchens and schools. Remnants of the processed food from the kitchen and food scraps from schools also contribute to the increasing amount of organic waste. Organic waste that accumulates will certainly have a negative impact on public health. Stacking of the organic waste can be avoided by reprocessing it; for example, organic waste can be reused into compost. The purpose of this activity was to provide training to the partners (SDN Pilang students) to make takakura basket (Takakura Home Method) as a medium to process organic waste into compost. This training was conducted for 1 (one) day with three main steps, i.e. preparation, implementation, and evaluation. However, the results and sustainability of the activities were monitored for approximately 2 (two) weeks. The group of students was given guidance by the university students related to the sustainability of composting through the takakura basket. The result of the activity shows that the partners of this activity are able to make takakura baskets and apply them to process of organic waste around the school environment. In addition, students' awareness of the utilization of organic waste in the surrounding environment is increasing.Keywords: compost, organic waste, Takakura baskets ABSTRAK Mitra dari kegiatan ini adalah SDN Pilang Kecamatan Kanor Kabupaten Bojonegoro. Mayoritas masyarakat desa Pilang bekerja sebagai petani. Dari hasil pertanian, mereka menghasilkan sampah organik yang melimpah. Selain itu, sampah organik juga dihasilkan dari dapur rumah tangga dan sekolah. Sisa-sisa olahan makanan dari dapur dan makanan dari sekolah juga turut menyumbang meningkatnya jumlah sampah organik. Sampah organik yang menumpuk tentunya akan berdampak yang kurang baik bagi kesehatan masyarakat. Penumpukan dapat dihindari dengan mengolah kembali sampah yang dihasilkan. Misalnya, sampah organik dapat dimanfaatkan kembali menjadi kompos. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah memberikan pelatihan kepada mitra (siswa SDN Pilang) untuk membuat keranjang takakura (Takakura Home Method) sebagai media untuk mengolah sampah organik menjadi kompos. Kegiatan pelatihan ini dilaksanakan selama 1 (satu) hari dengan tiga tahapan utama, yaitu: persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Akan tetapi hasil dan keberlanjutan kegiatan tersebut dipantau selama kurang lebih 2 (dua) minggu. Kelompok siswa diberikan pembimbingan oleh para mahasiswa berkaitan dengan keberlanjutan pembuatan kompos melalui media keranjang takakura tersebut. Hasil dari kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa mitra kegiatan ini mampu membuat keranjang takakura dan mengaplikasikannya untuk pengolahan sampah organik yang berada di sekitar lingkungan sekolah. Selain itu, kesadaran para siswa akan pemanfaatan sampah organik yang ada di lingkungan sekitar semakin meningkat.Kata Kunci: kompos, keranjang Takakura, sampah organik

Background and Aim: Veterinary antibiotics are widely used to treat bacterial diseases in various species of animals. However, despite the importance of these chemotherapeutic agents, their indiscriminate or extensive use can pose dangers to the animals or humans that consume edible tissues from animals contaminated with antibiotic residues. Therefore, concerns regarding their appropriate and judicious use in animals are of public health significance. This is because of the tendencies of developing resistance to targeted microbes and the ability of the parent compound or its metabolites to persist as residues in the animal tissues. This study aimed to determine the frequency and pattern of antibiotic usage and ascertain the level of awareness of clinicians on the judicious use of antibiotics at the University of Maiduguri Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: Data related to the administration of antibiotics in all species of animals presented for treatment from January 2009 to December 2018 were obtained from the hospital archives, with permission from the office of the hospital directorate. The diseases, hospital units, antibiotics used, and years were parameters that were recorded for each case. Furthermore, 47 questionnaires were administered to clinicians who render services to the hospital. Results: A total of 63.9% of all cases brought to the hospital within the 10 years under study were infectious, and as such, were treated with antibiotics. The highest recorded use of antibiotics was observed in the poultry unit (38.4%), followed by the large animal unit (24.1%), with the lowest used recorded in the ambulatory unit (9.3%). Furthermore, regarding the antibiotics used, oxytetracycline had the highest occurrence (55%), followed by penicillin-streptomycin combination (12.2%), with the lowest being metronidazole (0.30%). The highest number of cases treated with antibiotics was recorded in 2018 (22.5%), and the lowest was recorded in 2014 (1.3%). Regarding the questionnaire administered to the clinicians, 78.7% of the respondents preferred oxytetracycline as their drug of choice, whereas only 2.1%, 4.3%, 2.1%, and 4.3% preferred amoxicillin, penicillin, streptomycin, and penicillin-streptomycin, respectively. Moreover, 65.9% of the respondents used a particular antibiotic because of its availability at the hospital, 8.5% because of cost, and 27.7% because of clinician preference. Furthermore, 74.5% of the clinicians offered palliative intervention while awaiting laboratory reports, whereas 8.5% treated the animals without requesting laboratory analyses. Conclusion: In this study, oxytetracycline was found to be the most used antibiotic for treating infectious diseases at the hospital because of its availability. The observed pattern appeared in the following order of frequency: Oxytetracycline, penicillin-streptomycin combination, neomycin, erythromycin, amoxicillin, tylosin, streptomycin, and gentamicin with metronidazole being the least frequent. There might also be antibiotic resistance, which requires a change to another antibiotic because of the lack of response to the initial antibiotic. Non-judicious antibiotic use can also have a negative impact on public health because of the development of multidrug-resistant "superbugs" and the problem of drug residue.

University Setting

The negative impact of a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet on health is evident across the lifespan, but particularly during the university period. Usually, the diet of university students is rich in sweetened drinks and processed foods and low in fruits, vegetables and legumes. Although there is an association between maintaining a healthy diet and the frequency of cooking at home, the time currently spent on cooking or learning how to cook is decreasing globally. The main aim of this study was to explore university students’ perceptions about healthy cooking and barriers to eating healthily. A group of 26 students participated in four focus groups. Content analysis was conducted using Atlas.ti v.8. Students perceived cooking healthily as a more complicated and time-consuming process than cooking in general. Individual and environmental factors were the most reported barriers. Costs and time, among others, were the main barriers pointed out by students with regard to healthy eating. This study highlights the need to develop interventions that modify these false perceptions about cooking healthily, and to train students so that they are able to cook healthy meals in a quick, easy, and cost-effective way. Further, specific actions are required in the university setting to minimize access to unhealthy options and to promote those linked to healthy eating.

The article highlights the features of the living conditions of St. Vladimir University students during 1834-1863 years. The types of the housing of two main groups of students (who were educated and maintained by the state and from charitable givings and students who studied at their own expense) are analyzed in the article. A lot of attention was paid to the living conditions of students who were educated from state budget money. The location of the houses and estates in which they lived was defined in the article. It also was found that the living conditions of students who were educated and maintained by the state had a proper level of housing and were generally comfortable for them to live. At the same time, these types of dormitories for poor students were specially designed as a form of control with strict regulation of their everyday life. The habitats of students who were educated and maintained by the state were comfortable for students living and had a proper level of living conditions in general. At the same time, these habitats served as a form of control over university students. The habitats of students who studied at their own expense were significantly different in terms of living conditions. They usually rented accommodation from Kyiv burghers. Typically students rented one room for a few of them because it was cheaper. The poorest students of the university lived in uninhabited rooms (basements, attics). Often, poor living conditions caused a negative impact on students' health and learning progress. Students usually settled near university buildings and formed a compact quarter, mostly inhabited by university students. At the initial stage of the university existence (1834-1842), the students' dwellings were mainly located at Lypky and Pechersk, near the university's leased buildings. During the next period (1842-1863), students mostly settled not far from the main building of the university (red building) or near other buildings of the university, for example, near the anatomical theatre or the military hospital. The features of living conditions of students (heating, lighting, water supply, sanitary and hygienic conditions) are also described in the publication. These factors were very important in shaping student everyday life and influenced the creation of a special students’ lifestyle.

Abstract Internet addiction is the most modern form of addiction and belongs to behavioral addictions. The term appeared in 1996 and spread very quickly all over the world, especially among teenagers and young people. Many users escape the formal use of the Internet and easily lose control of the situation. The article aims to deal with the university students’ addiction to Internet and social media. It is a fact that most young people spend valuable time on the Internet without knowing the negative impact this engagement may have. For this purpose, a questionnaire based on the Internet Addiction Test was formulated, in order to answer a number of questions about Internet addiction, the consequences and causes of this phenomenon, the ways of dealing with the problem, the indications (information) and statistical data available for Greece, etc. The results obtained will be very useful and can be used by researchers to shape the profile of new and future uses, regarding the impact of internet use on professional life and development of young people, but also in dealing with social phenomena and adaptation problems.

With the growing demerits of fossil fuels - its finitude and its negative impact on the environment and public health - renewable energy is becoming a favoured emerging alternative. For over a millennium anaerobic digestion (AD) has been employed in treating organic waste (biomass). The two main products of anaerobic digestion, biogas and biofertilizer, are very important resources. Since organic wastes are always available and unavoidable too, anaerobic digestion provides an efficient means of converting organic waste to profitable resources. This paper elucidates the potential benefits of organic waste generated in Nigeria as a renewable source of biofuel and biofertilizer. The selected organic wastes studied in this work are livestock wastes (cattle excreta, sheep and goat excreta, pig excreta, poultry excreta; and abattoir waste), human excreta, crop residue, and municipal solid waste (MSW). Using mathematical computation based on standard measurements, Nigeria generates about 542.5 million tons of the above selected organic waste per annum. This in turn has the potential of yielding about 25.53 billion m³ of biogas (about 169 541.66 MWh) and 88.19 million tons of biofertilizer per annum. Both have a combined estimated value of about N 4.54 trillion ($ 29.29 billion). This potential biogas yield will be able to completely displace the use of kerosene and coal for domestic cooking, and reduce the consumption of wood fuel by 66%. An effective biogas programme in Nigeria will also remarkably reduce environmental and public health concerns, deforestation, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Entrepreneurial intention is the function of motives and barriers encountered by the university students during their studies. As the unemployment rate among the university graduates is the highest in Bangladesh, the research focused on university students with the aim to predict their entrepreneurial behaviors. Previous studies identified different environmental contexts of the countries have different influence on the perception regarding motives and barriers of entrepreneurial intention of the students. Hence, to stimulate the development of entrepreneurship, it is important to uncover university student’s perceptions regarding the motives and barriers to develop entrepreneurship and their influences on entrepreneurial intention of the graduates. To conduct the research, the primary data were collected from 398 business students using simple random sampling method through self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the demographic profiles of the respondents. A multivariate statistical technique like Factor Analysis was used to identify the factors influencing entrepreneurial intention and Regression Analysis was used to predict the significant impact factors. It is evident in the study that the driving factors like autonomy and market opportunity has significant positive impact whereas barriers like financial and government support, lack of skills has significant negative impact on the student’s entrepreneurial intentions. This paper will assist the policy makers, educational institutions and researchers to develop several implementable strategies like enterprise education, liberal tax system, financial and regulatory support to promote entrepreneurship in a developing country like Bangladesh.
