Prevalence and outcomes of teenage pregnancy among patients attending a state specialist hospital in Osogbo Osun State Nigeria
(Springer Nature-Discover Public Health, 2026) Daramola Chinonye Lucky
Background Teenage pregnancy is a significant public health issue globally due to its association with a range of adverse health, socio-economic, maternal, and neonatal outcomes. Aims This study therefore examined the prevalence and outcome of teenage pregnancy in a state specialist hospital, Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria. Methods This study is a ten-year retrospective study conducted to determine the prevalence and outcome of teenage pregnancy. The sample consisted of 225 teenagers aged 13–19 years registered for antenatal and delivery services in State Specialist Hospital, Osogbo, Osun State, using total enumeration. Data were extracted from medical records of patients and hospital databases using a proforma. Data extracted were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency and percentages, while inferential statistics of chi-square were used to establish relationships between the variables. Results The findings showed a 5.4% prevalence of teenage pregnancy, with the majority being aged 18 years, 55 (24.4%), at a gestational age of 36–40 weeks (79.6%), unmarried 129 (57.3%), with secondary education 118 (52.4%). The majority had no previous obstetric history, 124 (55.1%); however, 44 (19.6%) had abortions. Most teenage pregnancies recorded ended with live births, 152 (67.6%), with a significant number of preterm births, 59 (26.2%). Neonatal outcomes showed normal weight 141 (62.7%) and low birth weight 62 (27.6%). Anemia 29 (12.9%) was high among other complications as observed from the study. However, less than half of the pregnancies were delivered through caesarean section, 91 (40.4%). Conclusion This study showed a low prevalence of teenage pregnancy among teenagers aged 15–19 years, indicating that teenage pregnancy still exists despite efforts to empower teenagers on sexuality education. Therefore, more effort should be intensified to advocate for targeted interventions to drastically reduce pregnancy among teenagers.
Evaluation of Information Resources Utilization by Faculty Members at Tekena Tamuno Library, Redeemer’s University, Nigeria
(Sryahwa Publications, 2026) Alabi, Stephen Olakunle
The study investigates faculty members’ purposes, perceptions and borrowing patterns of information resources. A survey research design was adopted for the study. A total of 94 lecturers from eight faculties willingly participated in the study. Data were collected with a questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS version 23.0 using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that the majority of the respondents use circulating information resources for their teaching and research activities. The findings also revealed that a large number of respondents borrowed 1-2 books for 4 weeks, and that lecturers mainly renewed and returned books in person at the library. The study concludes that constant updates of library collections, introduction of a self-service lending system to encourage convenient borrowing and renewal of circulating items and adoption of Short Message Service (SMS) notification will improve the utilization of information resources by faculty members.
FIGURATION FLASHBACK, TESTIMONIO ET COGNITIVE COMME TECHNIQUES NARRATIVES DU TRAUMATISME DANS DES TEXTES GRAPHIQUES DE LA GUERRE RWANDAISE
(2025-12-30) Okoro Harmony Ezinne
Bien que les études sur les traumatismes aient examiné les flashbacks et les testimonios comme modes de représentation des conséquences de la violence, peu d’attention a été accordée à la manière dont ces techniques, ainsi que la métaphore conceptuelle et la métonymie, fonctionnent en synergie dans les récits graphiques de la guerre rwandaise. C’est pourquoi ce travail vise à étudier les retours en arrière dans Déogratias de Jean-Philippe Stassen et le testimonio dans Le grand voyage d’Alice de Gaspard Talmasse pour démontrer comment ces auteurs appliquent ces techniques narratives dans leurs récits graphiques. En s’appuyant sur les études du traumatisme, la métaphore conceptuelle et la métonymie conceptuelle avec la méthode qualitative de l’analyse multimodale dans les oeuvres de notre corpus, cette étude vise à comprendre comment ces textes multimodaux utilisent des stratégies à la fois temporelles et figuratives pour représenter la mémoire traumatique et le témoignage éthique. Elle cherche donc à examiner comment l’interaction du flashback, du témoignage, de la métaphore conceptuelle et de la métonymie conceptuelle constitue une grammaire visuelle et narrative distincte du traumatisme dans les représentations graphiques de la guerre, en particulier dans le contexte du génocide rwandais. Cette étude soutient que les perturbations temporelles du flashback et le témoignage dialogique du testimonio articulent ensemble la tension entre le retour involontaire du souvenir traumatique et la nécessité éthique de témoigner.
MODELING OF POWER GENERATION FOR A SOLAR POWER GENERATOR SYSTEM
(Journal of Agricultural and Rural Research, 2023-10-29) Sanyaolu Olufemi
Solar power systems have evolved into a viable source of sustainable energy over the years and one of the key difficulties confronting researchers in the installation and operation of solar power generating systems is how to create a model for household power forecasting. Multiple regression models were developed from experimental data to estimate rotational and static power as a function of time, current, and voltage, using Minitab 20.4 software. The model correlations were assessed using statistical metrics, Mean Absolute Bias Error (MABE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The results showed that the rotational and static power models were built using the mathematical model as a function of time, current, and voltage, The coefficient of determination, R2 for rotational and static power models were 99.64 % and 99.86 % respectively. MABE and RMSE for rotational model were 1.3030 and 0.7431 and MABE and RMSE for static power model were 1.3548 and 0.79405. Statistical indicators revealed that regression models accurately predicted rotational and static power as a function of time, current, and voltage. The projected values of rotational and static power demonstrate that these quantities can be utilized to predict and compensate for energy deficit.
