Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of interrelated metabolic abnormalities, including central obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia, which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and overall mortality. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of MetS among adolescents aged 13–19 years in the Akwapem North Municipality, Ghana. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 184 students from Presbyterian Senior High School, Mampong Akwapem. Participants were selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, anthropometric measurements (height, weight, waist circumference), blood pressure measurements, and biochemical assessments of fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol. The data were analyzed using STATA version 18. Results: The prevalence of MetS among participants was 6.52% (95% CI: 3.73% – 11.17%). The most common metabolic abnormalities were low HDL cholesterol (46.74%) and elevated triglycerides (7.61%). The prevalence of elevated blood pressure (1.63%) and high fasting glucose (5.98%) were comparatively lower. A statistically significant association was found between BMI category and MetS (p<0.001), with overweight and obese participants showing a higher prevalence. Waist circumference also demonstrated a significant association with MetS (p<0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence of MetS among adolescents in the Akwapem North Municipality is concerning, highlighting the need for early detection and intervention. The findings suggest that excess body weight and abdominal obesity are significant determinants of MetS in this population. Public health strategies, including routine screening, health education, and lifestyle interventions, are essential for addressing the rising prevalence of MetS and preventing longterm health complications.

The study investigated the relationship between pricing strategies and performance of selected tourists‟ sites in Delta State, Nigeria. Pricing strategies were the independent variables while performance was the dependent variables. The dimensions of pricing strategy covered in this study include discount, competitive and customer-based, whereas the dimensions of performance were customer satisfaction, patronage, and positive band image. The hypotheses formulated for the study were subjected to statistical test using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. This statistical technique was used to determine the strength of association of independent and dependent variables. The findings are the following: Tourist sites‟ competitive pricing strategy has significant relationship with customer satisfaction. Tourists‟ sites‟ competitive pricing strategy significant has relationship with patronage. Tourists‟ sites pricing strategy significantly influence positive brand image. There is significant relationship between customer-based pricing strategy of tourists‟ sites and customer satisfaction. Based on the findings of the study it was concluded that pricing of products and services of tourists‟ sites has become the cardinal attraction among tourists, and in some cases determines whether or not a tourist will repurchase a particular tourists‟ site or not. Based on the findings and Conclusion, it could be recommended that tourists‟ sites should always be flexible in price decision and embrace the rule of elasticity of demand which has it that when more demand are going for a product, price increases but when products are everywhere with few demands, they reduce price of the product or service. In effect, the researcher advises tourists‟ sites to consider using demand oriented (customer-based) pricing strategy for increasing repurchase. There should be employee training programme at regular intervals to sharpen their skill for implementing pricing strategies of their tourists‟ site and thereby be service-oriented to drive up positive brand image.

It is true that applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary discipline. All disciplines are interdisciplinary in one way or another. The problem that this paper attempts to solve is the confusion noticed in what Applied Linguistics is, and what it is not or what it should not be. This confusion is due to applied linguistics interdisciplinarity. The aim of this paper is to make those who are interested in Applied Linguistics aware of the confusion that is noticed in many papers so as to avoid it.

This study investigates the pivotal role of interpersonal relationships in enhancing teamwork among staff at Adeyemi Federal University of Education, Ondo. Drawing on the Social Exchange Theory, the research explores how effective communication, active listening, and empathy collectively influence the dynamics of collaboration within academic and administrative environments. Using a structured questionnaire administered to 100 purposively selected staff members, the study employed descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analyses via SPSS v26. Findings reveal that all three interpersonal variables are positively and significantly related to teamwork, with empathy emerging as the strongest predictor (β = 0.42), followed by effective communication (β = 0.38) and active listening (β = 0.29). The results underscore the critical importance of fostering emotionally intelligent behaviours and relational competencies in academic institutions. The study recommends regular interpersonal skills training, emotional intelligence coaching for leaders, digital communication reforms, and structured mentorship programmes. These initiatives are essential for cultivating a harmonious, inclusive, and performance-driven university workforce. Ultimately, the research contributes to the growing body of knowledge emphasizing that positive interpersonal relationships are not optional extras but strategic tools for institutional effectiveness and staff well-being.
