Livestock diseases constitute a great threat to protein availability in Nigeria. It is thus necessary to eramine how much farmers know about some deadly diseases prevalent in their stock as it would afford the farmer a timely re-adjustment to prevent foreseeable losses. The focus of this study was to determine farmers' level of awareness of African Swine Fever (ASF) in Agege Area of Lagos State, Nigeria. Primary data were collected with the use of a questionnaire administered to one hundred and twenty (120) respondents selected using the purposive sampling technique. Twenty seven (27) pig farms were also visited to obtain 017-farm data on pig mortality during the ASF epidemic. It was revealed that there was inadequate awareness of the early symptoms and characteristic signs of ASF among the respondents. As such mortality of about 95 percent was recorded. The Chi square analysis showed no significant relationship between farmers' level of awareness of ASF and the location of their pig farms. There was also no significant relationship between pig stock population and farmers' contact with Extension agents. The study then concluded that extension services to pig farmers are currently inadequate. It therefore recommends that it be developed to ensure institutional support in cases of epidemic disease outbreaks. More so, possible ways should be sought to ensure a steady flow of agricultural information from the research institutes and universities to the ultimate users. Preventive measures should however be taught to farmers to avoid the incidence of future disease outbreaks. Lastly, pig farmers are also advised to form associations that could serve as a pressure group in such cases of sector specific emergencies.

The Relationship

The evaluation of IUD contraceptive services is still lack of quality until now. Many IUD  acceptors choose to stop use contraception because they don't accept side effects such as bleeding, and fear of interfering with sexual intercourse. Adequate information from professional health personnel, in the form of counseling, is a very important step in helping women choose the best contraceptive method and according to their needs. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between education level and work period of midwives to the knowledge of midwives about IUD counseling. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a crossectional design. The number of respondents was 124 midwives Public Health Center in Bandung. The sampling technique uses consecutive sampling. Measurement of IUD counseling knowledge using a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability using the Rasch Model with alpha chron-bach 0.87 (Good). Data were analyzed using SPSS 20 chi-square. The results of the study found that almost all of the 96% of respondents were lack of knowledge about counseling IUDs. The chi-square analysis results did not have a significant relationship between the level of education and knowledge of IUD counseling p = 0.548 (> 0.05). There is no significant relationship between the period of work with knowledge of IUD counseling p = 0.081 (> 0.05). Communication and counseling have been included in the Midwifery Diploma III education curriculum, but the level of education does not have a significant relationship to the knowledge of midwives about IUD counseling. This shows that the learning process in educational institutions has not been able to produce midwives who have knowledge of IUD counseling as expected.

One of the causes of bleeding during pregnancy is placenta previa, which is the placenta that covers all or part of the internal uterine ostium. One of the risk factors for placenta previa is Age because it can cause sclerosis of small arteries and myometrial arterioles which causes uneven blood flow to the endometrium so that the placenta grows wider with a larger surface area. So the researchers wanted to look for a relationship between maternal age and placenta previa. This research method is analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach conducted at the Camatha Sahidya Hospital in Batam City in 2019. Data is taken from the patient's medical record from June 1 to June 31, 2019. The sampling technique is total sampling where the number of samples is the same with a population of 135 people in June 2019. The results of the study were analyzed by frequency distribution in a cross-tabulation then tested by Chi-square test. The results of this study showed that out of 135 mothers, 4 mothers (17.4%) out of 23 mothers aged> 35 years were declared into the Placenta Previa group and 19 mothers (82.6%) out of 23 mothers aged> 35 years were stated in the group. No Placenta Previa. And obtained 112 mothers aged 20-35 years from 135 mothers in which there were 2 mothers (1.8%) who were stated in the Placenta Previa group and 110 mothers (98.2%) stated in the No Placenta Previa group. Chi-Square analysis results obtained significance value p = 0.008. This figure is significant because the p-value is smaller than the significance level () = 5% (0.05). Therefore it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between maternal age and the incidence of placenta previa. Based on this study it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between maternal age and the incidence of placenta previa.

The Impact

Aim: Students’ academic performance is an important criterion that is considered for career opportunity in academia and industry as such the onus is on students to perform well academically in order to stand a chance of holding their own in a competitive and saturated labour market. The fact however is that a number of factors within and outside the classroom combine to determine how well students perform academically. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the impact of factors such as gender, study habits, faculty of study, extracurricular activities, boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, social media usage and type of secondary school attended on students’ academic performance in Bowen University. Study Design:  A survey research design was used which employed a questionnaire capable of gathering large amount of quantitative and qualitative data. Place and Duration of Study: Bowen University, Iwo, Nigeria between March 2017 and May 2017. Methodology: A self-designed survey questionnaire was administered to a sample of 380 students (144 males, 236 females) drawn from a population of 3,819 students using multi-stage sampling technique. Data collected during the survey were processed and analyzed using various statistical techniques including frequencies, percentages, independent samples t-test, analysis of variance test and Chi-Square test for independence.  Results: Survey results indicated that gender, involvement in extracurricular activities, involvement in boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, study habit and social media usage significantly impact upon student’s academic performance while the type of secondary attended and the faculty of study were found not to significantly affect academic performance of the students. Conclusion: The survey results demonstrated that some of the considered factors significantly affect academic performance of students while some do not. As such, it is important for students to develop good study habits that will enable them spend more time studying while also cutting down on the number of hours spent daily on social media. In the same vein, students should be more involved in extracurricular activities that promote fitness, total wellness and team work. In addition, relationships should be well managed to ensure that they do not negatively impact on students’ academic performance.
