ABSTRACT
The on-farm trials were conducted in three districts of west shewa zene, Oromia region, Ethiopia, to compare the performance of Promising hybrids under farmers field and promote one or two hybrids for possible release as commercial variety. Seven hybrids were evaluated using randomized complete block design (RCBD) in 2021 cropping season. The combined analysis of variance for three districts showed highly significant mean squares due to genotypes for all studied traits except ear position. Site*entry interaction showed significant mean variance only for grain yield (GY) indicating that, the performance of these genotypes were not consistent across sites for this trait. Hybrids SXH180174 and 3XH1900432 were the best performing genotypes for grain yield and some yield related traits. The single cross hybrid SXH180174 scored the highest grain yield (10.05 tons/ha) as compared to the checks and showed preferred plant and ear aspects. Accordingly this hybrid was recommended for variety verification trial stage for release as commercial hybrid in highland agro-ecology of the country.

ABSTRACT
The paper examined the effect of assessment for learning strategy (AFLS) on Student’s Achievement and interest in Senior Secondary School Mathematics in Ondo State. The study employed quasi experimental research design involving the non-randomized prelest, postlest, control group. The population comprises all Senior Secondary II students in Akoko North East Local Government, Area of Ondo State. A sample size of 100 Senior Secondary II students from two public Secondary school was used for the study. The sample was randomly grouped into one experimental and control. Data were collected using Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) (r=0.76) and Mathematical Interest Inventory (MII) (r =0.82). Two hypotheses were generated to guide the study. The findings revealed that there was significant effect of instrument on students’ performance and interest with a (F value 4.161 and p value 0.000) at 0.005 level of significance based on the findings, it was recommended that Assessment for learning strategy should be employed or adopted in teaching Secondary students to enhance their interest in mathematics.

ABSTRACT
Inclusive education connotes the non-discrimination of students with diverse and different learning and physical abilities staying in the same classroom to learn and study side by side. it involves the non-segregation of students and adapting them into appropriate general education classes in schools available within their immediate environment that gives them access to high quality instructions, interventions and assistance to meet up primary, secondary and tertiary academic curriculum irrespective of any physical challenge they may have. The implementation of inclusive education in Nigeria will inevitably create new and increased demands for special educators, as well as other stakeholders putting all hands on deck to make ensure special needs children have quality and inclusive education. With the growing number of special needs children in the society due to the prevailing economic, societal and family problems, there is urgent need for the full adoption and enforcement of the special needs and inclusive education law of the child right act in Nigeria. This means the development of schools curriculum to cater for inclusive educations in the country. Government should place emphasis on special educators who are also expected to make adaptations and accommodations to the inclusive curriculum, their instructional techniques and evaluation procedures, as well as cater for their classroom behavior and develop appropriate management styles. The specialists who are already engaged in inclusive education must be provided with sufficient instructional resources, while at the same time encouraged to continue their efforts to reach out to all learners. Inclusive education should be seen by the government as a basic human right and the foundation for a more just, equal and egalitarian society.

ABSTRACT
Hermaphroditism is a sexual anomaly that causes the animal to have sexual functions of both sexes (male and female). The present work aims to review hermaphroditism in cattle, showing the concept, causes, diagnosis, and possible treatments. Animals with this anomaly may show reproductive failure, sexual behavior for both sexes, and absence of estrus. It is divided into three forms: Freemartinism, True Hermaphroditism, and Pseudo-Hermaphroditism, with the most common form in cattle being true freemartinism. Finally, anomalies of sexual differentiation are diagnosed through palpation, vaginoscopy, ultrasound and genetic tests, sometimes being visually verifiable. In cases of hermaphroditism, the animal that is born with this anomaly can be surgically corrected.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To present the epidemiological, clinical and histological aspects of bladder cancer at the National Hospital of Zinder (Niger). Materials and methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study covering the period from January 2017 to January 2022 concerning the files of patients followed up for bladder cancer. The patients come from three regions bordering Zinder (Maradi, Agadez, Diffa). The parameters studied were epidemiology, age, sex, clinical signs, paraclinical tests, and histological results. Results: A total of 6724 patients were consulted during the period, which brings to 1.23% the incidence of bladder cancer at Zinder national hospital (HNZ). The median age of patients was 56.83 years with extremes of 24 and 77 years. The sex ratio was 7/1. A history of chronic smoking for an average of 5 pack-years was found in 8 cases (9.63%). Among the other risk factors, a history of urinary schistosomiasis in 58 cases (69.87%). The reasons for consultation were: total hematuria 63 cases (76.41%), permanent pollakiuria 8 cases (9.32%), acute urine retention 7 cases (8.33%), renal failure 3 cases (3.54%), exophytic tumor 2 cases (2.40%). Additional diagnostic tests were: ultrasound, cystoscopy, computed tomography (CT). Histology found 66 cases (79.51%) of squamous cell carcinoma, 15 cases (18.07%) of urothelial carcinoma and 2 cases (2.42%) of adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT
Objectives: To study the Intertrochanteric fractures patterns, distributions, and fixations modalities. In addition to assessing orthopedic surgeons’ tendencies toward implant choices according to the fracture morphology. Methods: This descriptive study reviewed the clinical and radiological records of 574 admitted with intertrochanteric femoral fractures in two hospitals of Jordanian Royal Medical Services from January - 2017 to December – 2020. Utilizing Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), patients’ radiographs were evaluated regarding the fracture patterns, surgical fixation technique, and indications. Results: Females accounted for 59.1% of patients. The mean age was equal to 76.40 ± 11.65 years, with an age range of 82 years (20 – 102 years). Comorbidities were found in 65.3% of patients. The majority of the fractures (54.5%) were of a simple fracture pattern, and the Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) was the most commonly used surgical implant (51.9%). Preoperative mortality accounted for 2.3%. Conclusions: Understanding intertrochanteric femoral fracture patterns and proper implant choice improves outcomes and avoids complications. We found that DHS use was the first choice in stable fracture patterns. However, there is an increasing tendency to use PFN over other modalities in both stable and unstable intertrochanteric fractures. The use of other modalities to treat unstable fracture may be explained by the occasional non-availability of the superior PFN.

ABSTRACT
The study determined school-type and gender influence on the efficacy of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) on reducing bullying among students in senior secondary schools in Ikwerre Local Government Area in Rivers State, Nigeria. Bullying was the dependent variable while CBT was the independent variable. School-type and gender were the moderator variables. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. A sample of 45 students identified as bullies from a population of 2,368 SS2 students in Ikwerre Local Government Area using a non-probability purposive sampling technique was used. Olweus Bullying Questionnaire (OBQ) was the instrument used for the study. OBQ had its content validity estimated by the total item cumulative variance of 75.25% while its construct validity was estimated by factor loading matrixes that ranged between .45 and .88. The reliability of OBQ was established using Cronbach alpha at r=.80, p<.05 level of significance. Data collected were analyzed using independent t-test. Results of the study indicated that school-type had no influence on the efficacy of CBT on reducing bullying. This is due to the fact that the mean reduction difference of public and private school students on their bullying reduction level was not significant at 0.05 alpha level of significance, when tested with independence t-test. Gender had no influence on the efficacy of CBT on the reduction of bullying. This is due to the fact that the mean reduction difference of male and female students on their bullying reduction level was not significant when tested with independent t-test statistics. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that counsellors and psychotherapists should make use of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in reducing students’ bullying behaviour without the fear of these variables interfering with the treatment.

ABSTRACT
Twenty litres of milk was obtained from lactating Bunaji cows and clarified and then divided into fifteen parts of one litre such that each treatment had three replicates. Each part (1 L) was heated to a temperature of 50˚C with intermittent stirring. Thereafter, 20 g of coagulant (Calotropis procera) leaves juice was added and immediately, ascorbic acid was added at varying levels of 0 mg (T1), 50 mg (T2), 100 mg (T3), 150 mg (T4) and 200 mg (T5) and allowed to form curd. The whey was drained off to obtain the curd and refrigerated for fourteen (14) days. The cheeses obtained were investigated for proximate and microbial qualities at days 1, 7 and 14. Storage effect showed significant (p<0.05) reduction in carbohydrate and increase in moisture contents of the cheese. Treatment 1 had the highest moisture (35.52%) and ash (3.03%) values than cheeses enhanced with ascorbic acid. Treatment 4 was superior in fat (28.48%) and protein (22.73%) while carbohydrate concentration was at maximum (21.61%) in treatment 5. The highest Total viable bacteria count (TVBC), coliform count (TVCC), Lactobacillus count (TVLC), mold and yeast count (TVMYC) were quantified as 131.60 x 102, 63.10 x 102, 54.93 x 102 and 25.67 x 102 cfu respectively at day 14. Treatment influence showed significant (P<0.05) difference with treatment 3 having the highest TVBC (141.11x 102 cfu) and TVCC (67.94 x102 cfu) values respectively. Treatment and storage effects showed that T3 had the highest TVBC (147.33 x102 cfu) and TVCC (74.50 x102 cfu) at day 14. The TVMYC (26.83x102 cfu) was superior in T3 at day 1, while the TVLC was at its peak (61.67x 102 cfu) in T4 at day 14. Isolated bacteria were Micrococcus lactis, Lactobacillus spp, Bacillus subtilis, and the mold and yeast were Fusarium solani, Candida albican and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Conclusively, due to the higher concentration of carbohydrate in the refrigerated ascorbic acid enhanced cheese, it could serve as a source of energy for human, ......

ABSTRACT
Despite the philosophy in the conventional economics literature about the importance of human resource in the equation of value creation, human resource has been largely relegated to the bottom in the entire valuation of business model elements. Hence, the nexus of expenditure in human resource to financial performance of business entities in Nigeria is still empirically unclear. Thus, the researcher aimed to evaluate the influence of expenditure in human resource (EHR) on financial performance of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Salaries, wages, allowances (SWA), other staff related expenses (OSRE,) and human resource efficiency (HRE) are adopted as proxies for expenditure in human resource, accounting based profitability represented as return on equity (ROE) and capital market performance denominated into market value performance of firms (MVP) were proxies for financial performance. Causal comparative and descriptive research designs were adopted in the operational method for estimating the test results of the four hypotheses of the study. Result of the multivariate econometric regression demonstrated a mixed findings at varying magnitudes of significance. Besides statistically significant P-values for SWA and OSRE in hypothesis one, SWA demonstrated significant positive unstandardized beta coefficient contribution while HRE in hypothesis four indicated insignificant but positive unstandardized beta coefficient. Hence, the null hypotheses were rejected in the analysis. However, main predictors of focus were not adequately statistically significant in hypothesis two and three, thus, their null hypotheses were not rejected. Borrowing further interpretation of the empirical result from the explanatory credence of extant accounting literature, the researcher concluded that expenditure in human resource (EHR) among quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria is positively associated with their financial performance. Such companies were therefore recommended ..
