The study examined the Effects of Constructivists Approach on Performance and Retention of Genetics Concepts among Secondary School Students in Sokoto State, Nigeria. Quasi experimental research design was adopted which involves pre-test, post-test and post-posttest on two non-equivalent groups designated as experimental and control group. Two research objectives and questions guided the study while two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significant. The population of the study consisted of 1,639 SS II students across the 10 Schools under Science and Technical Education Board in Sokoto State. Multistage sampling techniques was used to select the sample for the study, 237 SS II students were selected from four schools using intact classes. Genetics Performance Test (GPT) instrument which contained 30 items were used to collect data. The instrument was validated by experts in the field of Biology. Pilot testing was used to establish the reliability of (GPT), the reliability coefficient of 0.86 was obtained using (KR-20) formular. The independent t-test was used to test the two null hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that there is significant difference in the performance and retention of students taught genetics using constructivists approach than those taught using conventional method. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that, Biology teachers should be encouraged adopt constructivist approach to engage the students in meaningful learning which led to enhanced performance of secondary school students in Genetics.

This study assessed the Socioeconomic Impacts of Multi-Community Collaboration Approach to Urban Development in Ayobo Town CDAs, Alimosho LGA, Lagos State, Nigeria. Many reasons have been given as to what bring about Multi-Community Collaboration Approach. One of the reasons is that, it has been observed that government cannot solve the problem of our community alone despite the growing number of government efforts and strategies to develop both urban and rural areas in the country yet, communities are being confronted with socio-economic problems. The non-conducive living condition prevalent within various communities in Ayobo as a result of inadequate of social amenities, problem of erosion, pollution lack of proper planning etc. has become a cause for concern. Therefore, to solve these problems, there is a need to develop a comprehensive strategy by using a multi-community collaboration approach that will bring communities together in order to plan and solve their problems together. As suggested by (Gigler, 1999:1) Multi-Community Collaborative actions frequently emerge from the need to address the problems of the communities through joint efforts. To achieve this, the study reviewed the concept of the Multi-Community Collaboration Approach to urban development and its problems and prospects in Ayobo Town CDAs. In Ayobo urban area which is the study area, there are 3 principal communities namely, Megida, Ijan and Igbo-Ilogbo. These (3) three communities in Urban area of Ayobo had contributed immensely through Multi-Community Collaboration Approach to the development of Ayobo as urban area. Through the use of both primary and secondary data collections from relevant sources and literatures, the study revealed that financial constrain, poor membership participation-collaboration among others are the major problems of Multi-Community Collaboration Approach. The problems were properly itemized, analyzed and possible solutions were suggested through the Multi-Community Collaboration Approach concept.

The widespread consumption of energy drinks has become common among different segments of society, especially among young people, due to their association with increased overall physical activity. The general effect of these drinks is attributed to their content of active ingredients such as caffeine, various sugars, taurine, as well as some herbal extracts. This study aimed to evaluate the potential effects of energy drinks on liver enzymes and kidney function. The study was conducted on 30 volunteers (24 males and 6 females). Information about the participants was collected using a specially designed questionnaire to determine whether they had any previous disorders affecting liver or kidney function, Blood samples were collected from each participant two hours after consuming energy drinks. The samples were transported in cooled containers to the Physiology Laboratory for serum separation and analysis. The obtained results were statistically analyzed using SPSS software, and mean comparisons were performed using the T-test, The results showed that most measured parameters were not significantly affected by the consumption of energy drinks, except for urea levels, which were significantly elevated. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the effects of energy drinks on liver and kidney cells and functions may be cumulative. This indicates that excessive and acute consumption of these beverages may have a negative impact on liver and kidney enzyme activity.

Reduced reproductive efficiency in Local Iraqi roosters is one of the primary challenges facing local poultry breeding flocks. This decline can be attributed to several factors, most notably nutritional imbalances and suboptimal management, alongside the deterioration of physiological and reproductive performance, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of selenium—a trace element known for its broad physiological impact—and evaluate its efficacy as a dietary supplement on the semen quality parameters of roosters. A total of 80 roosters, 22 weeks of age, were utilized in this study. The birds were randomly assigned to four treatment groups (20 roosters per treatment), with two replicates per treatment (10 roosters per replicate), The roosters were fed a nutritionally balanced basal diet supplemented with selenium from the onset of the study, All birds underwent continuous training for semen collection to ensure acclimatization to the procedure, Semen was collected bi-weekly throughout the 3-month experimental period, and mean values for each trait were calculated monthly for data presentation, The study evaluated various seminal characteristics, including ejaculate volume, mass activity, individual sperm motility, sperm concentration, packed sperm volume (PSV), and the percentages of dead and abnormal spermatozoa. The results of the current study indicated that selenium supplementation exerted effects ranging from significant to highly significant (P < 0.05and P < 0.01) across all studied traits throughout the experimental period. These findings suggest that selenium serves as a safe and effective nutritional tool for enhancing the reproductive efficiency of roosters, thereby opening new horizons for future research into utilizing the semen of these roosters for experimental insemination and fertility efficiency testing.
