The purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice of exclusive breastfeeding among nursing mothers in Ekosodin community, Ovie North East L.G.A, Edo State. Three research questions were formulated and evaluated in this study. Related literature was reviewed.The descriptive survey research was adopted in this study. The target population for this study were nursing mothers in Ekosodin community, Ovie North East L.G.A located in the capital of Edo State, Nigeria. The sample size for this study was 100 respondents. The research instrument that was used to solicit the desired information from the respondent for this study was a self-structured questionnaire. The instrument was validated by the researcher's supervisor and two other experts in the department of Health, Safety and Environmental Education. The test-retest method was adopted to ascertain the reliability of the instrument which involves the administration of the instrument to twenty (20) respondents within a two week interval who were not part of the study. The questionnaires were administered to the 100 respondents and retrieved immediately after completion to ascertain consistency. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency counts and percentage for
the research questions raised. This study revealed that although there is high level of EBF knowledge, however, few mothers have positive attitude towards EBF while the practice is generally low, and need urgent attention as exclusive breastfeeding practices are effective ways of reducing childhood morbidity and mortality.
Base on the findings of the study, it was recommended that exclusive breastfeeding education and awareness programme should be incorporated as part of both antenatal and postnatal programme for mothers to be educated and provided with accurate information about EBF, what it entails and its benefits to the infants, mothers, communities etc., and in addressing some EBF myths and misconceptions. Note that accurate information and supportive counselling are key to empowering mothers to make informed decisions about EBF. Breastfeeding-Friendly Environment (BFE) should be advocated for mothers which encourages breastfeeding. BFE entails privacy (quiet, comfortable and spacious), comfort (safe, clean, cosy area with adequate seating and hydration), supportive (access to lactation consultants, EBF resources), promotion (visible promotion of EBF through signage and literature), protection (free from discrimination and harassment). Creating a BFE empowers mothers to breastfeed confidently and comfortably, promoting a culture that values and supports breastfeeding.

Solid waste management is of global concern in both developing and developed countries. Despite much awareness aimed at reducing the waste generated due to anthropogenic activities, there has been an increase in solid waste generation throughout the world. Inefficient management of these dumpsites causes uncontrolled gas and liquid emissions such as leachates. The study focused on assessing the bacteriological analysis of municipal solid waste leachate in Benin city. The objectives included isolation and enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria and coliform present in MSW leachate. Raw landfill leachate samples were collected from landfill site (open dumpsite) having low lying land area located at St savior and Iguomo in Benin City and was analyzed for the cultural, morphological and biochemical characteristics of bacterial isolates. The result shows the four bacteria isolated from the leachate sites (St. Savior and Iguomo) which includes: Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Eschericha coli and Serratia marcescens. The bacterial isolates showed varying levels of which is higher at Iguomo leachate (4.9 log10 cfu/g) sites as compared to St. savior leachate sites (4.6 log10 cfu/g) and the Coliform count was also slightly higher at Iguomo leachate sites (3.8 log10 cfu/g) as compared to St. savior leachate sites (3.3 log10 cfu/g). The level of coliforms, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Eschericha coli and Serratia marcescens exceeded the EPA recommended limits for irrigation and for waste water discharged into the environment. Based on the findings of this study, there is the need to effectively review waste disposal system Nigeria. To forestall leaching of pollutants into water bodies, location of dumpsites should be at an appreciable distance to our water bodies. In addition, municipal dumpsites should be replaced with proper engineered landfills.

This study was carried out on the distorted images of African continent: a Heideggerian interpretation. To achieve this significant research objectivewere formulated, which is to showcase and bring to “more” conscious awareness the varied distorted images with which Africans are labeled. The study covered the whole of African continent, especially the black Africans, bearing in mind that some Africans like Egyptians are white in complexion. The history of African is relevant to the history of Black people throughout the world, and partly because of the general derogatory image “Africans” and Black people everywhere have inherited from Western history. The study adopted the expository, analytical and hermeneutical design. Hence the study analyzed the Martin Heidegger: The Question Of “Being”, the fundamental ontology: Dasein analytic, his methodology, and Heidegger’s concept of phenomenology and interpretation. The study in the chapter four analyzed African Distorted Images, the causes of African predicament which include; Geographico, Historico, and Colonialism. Additionally, phenomenological interpretations of African distorted images was also part of the study. In conclusion, the study indicated that the distorted images about Africa, in the light of Heideggerian interpretations, are born out of prejudice, and cannot withstand the sledgehammer of logical criticisms.

This paper presents the development of a Web-based Accommodation Allocation System (WAAS) designed to efficiently and transparently match flood victims with available temporary housing resources. Current disaster response efforts often struggle with manual, chaotic, and slow processes for housing assignment, leading to delays and inefficient resource utilization. The WAAS utilizes modern web technologies (e.g., cloud hosting, responsive design, and database management) to create a centralized, real-time platform. The system allows authorized relief agencies to rapidly input and manage available housing options (shelters, vacant properties, host families) while simultaneously registering and categorizing victims based on their immediate needs, family size, and specific vulnerabilities. A core algorithmic component ensures optimal, rule-based matching, prioritizing the most vulnerable populations and minimizing relocation time. The implementation demonstrates a significant improvement in the speed, accuracy, and accountability of post-disaster accommodation management, offering a critical tool for enhancing humanitarian aid logistics and victim support.

This study was designed to examine the effects of the use of Advance Organizers on students' achievement in reading comprehension in Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area of Lagos State. This study was carried out using the quasi-experimental research design. A sample of 102 junior secondary school two (2) students were drawn from the population of 5396. The reliability coefficient of the instrument for this study is 0.5 using Kuder Richardson coefficient. Four (4) research questions were raised and hypothesized to guide this study. Two instruments were used for this study. Reading Comprehension Achievement Test 1(RCAT 1) and Reading Comprehension Achievement Test 2(RCAT 2). Both were made up of two sections. Section A consists of demographic information such as name of school, serial
number and student's gender. Section B consists of two comprehension passages having fifteen multiple choice questions. Students were pretested using RCAT 1 and post tested using RCAT 2. Data collected were analyzed using mean, t-test and ANCOVA.
The study revealed that there was difference in the reading comprehension achievement of students taught with the use of advance organizers. The study also revealed that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores of students taught reading comprehension with the use of advance organizers. There was no significant difference in reading comprehension achievement of male and female students taught with the use of advance organizers and there was no interaction effect of method by gender on students' achievement in reading comprehension. Based on the findings, it is concluded that the use of advance organizers enhances students' achievement in reading comprehension over the use of the basal method. Based on this, the study amongst others recommend that teachers should be encouraged to teach reading using the best possible methods like the use of advance organizers which was found to be very effective. Also, teachers should be trained on how to use the method so as to avoid distractions and manage time.
