The study examined the factors influencing economic performance of palm oil production in Abak Local Government Area of Akwa-Ibom State, Nigeria. The study was based on primary data collected with the aid of pre-tested questionnaire from 120 respondents using multistage sampling technique in the study area. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results revealed that majority (78%) of the palm oil producers were female with a mean age of about 50 years. The costs and returns analysis indicated that palm oil production was a profitable enterprise with a rate of return of 1.17. The result of the regression analysis revealed that age (p<0.05), education (p<0.01), membership of cooperative society (p<0.05), cost of equipment (p<0.05) and cost of labour were the significant factors influencing economic performance of palm oil producers in the study area. The major constraints faced by the producers were inadequate capital, lack of credit facilities, lack of access to improved inputs and technology, price fluctuation among others. The study recommended that, government, both at the federal and state levels should make credit facilities available and accessible to the palm oil producers at low interest rate in order to sustain and invigorate their economic performance.

Recommended Management Practices

The enhancement of fish production through aquaculture can be brought about by enhancing farmers’ utilization of information on new innovations and recommended practices. This study was carried out to assess fish farmers’ use of recommended management practices in Oyo state. One hundred and fifty fish farmers were selected from the four agricultural zones in the state using multistage sampling technique. Primary Data were analyzed using descriptive and multiple regression analysis. Most of the fish farmers were male (88%), 78% had tertiary education and 68% had <11years of experience in fish farming. The study revealed that the rate of adoption of recommended aquaculture management practices was 46.7%. The regression analysis also revealed a linear relationship between the socio-economic characteristic and adoption of RAMP (R2 = 0879). Educational background (p<0.05), years of experience (p<0.1) and method of farming (p<0.05) were positively significant. The use of these management practices were also limited by different factors as revealed in the study. In conclusion, the adoption of recommended management by fish farmers is not encouraging enough. Strong cooperation between the fish farmers and extension agents was highly recommended.

The secondary traumatic stress (STS) of nurses caring for COVID-19 patients is expected to be high, and it can adversely affect patient care. The purpose of this study was to examine the degree of STS of nurses caring for COVID-19 patients, and we identified various factors that influence STS. This study followed a descriptive design. The data of 136 nurses who had provided direct care to COVID-19 patients from 5 September to 26 September 2020 were collected online. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors influencing STS. Participants experienced moderate levels of STS. The regression model of Model 1 was statistically significant (F = 6.21, p < 0.001), and the significant factors influencing STS were the duration of care for patients with COVID-19 for more than 30 days (β = 0.28, p < 0.001) and working in an undesignated COVID-19 hospital (β = 0.21, p = 0.038). In Model 2, the factor influencing STS was the support of a friend in the category of social support (β = −0.21, p = 0.039). The nurses caring for COVID-19 patients are experiencing a persistent and moderate level of STS. This study can be used as basic data to treat and prevent STS.

The study assessed carbonated and healthy drinks consumption pattern of the undergraduate students of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), IIe –  Ife, Nigeria. Random sampling technique was employed in this study. The study relied on primary data which was collected through questionnaires. Data collected were analyzed using mean and percentages. The total number of respondents was 260 undergraduate students, which comprised 102 males and 158 females. Majority (47.3%) of the respondents were between 17 – 20 years old and were single. It was indicated that majority (49.6%) of the respondents has less than N10,000 as income level from their monthly stipend. The result indicated that the carbonated drinks that the students consume the most were Fanta and Coke. Majority (38.5%) of the respondents consume fruit smoothies while they sometimes (38.8%) consume zobo drink. The result also reveals that zobo drink has the highest percentage (76.2%) of consumption than other healthy drinks. The major factors influencing healthy drinks consumption based on individual perceptions were taste (40.4%), price (38.9%), preferences (36.2%), and  nutritional benefit (35.0%) while price (36.5%), taste (35.8%), preferences (33.5%) and availability on campus (31.5%) were the major factors influencing carbonated drinks consumption based on individual perceptions. It is therefore recommended that the Federal and State Government should ensure proper health education of undergraduates regarding the nutritional benefits of healthy drinks as well as the adverse effects of  carbonated drinks.
