Nigeria,(Department of Vocational&Technical Education, Faculty of Education, University of Benin, Benin. Edo State, 2011-09) Gbadebo, C.T,; Adedeji, C.E,; Ukpore, B.AAbstract This study examined types of family crises experienced by teachers and nurses, and also investigated causes of family crises and coping strategies adopted in crises situations. A descriptive survey method was adopted using a four point Likert type questionnaire. An instrument titled Family Crises Questionnaire (FCQ) was used to collect data. The instrument was administered on 150 Teachers and 150 Nurses randomly selected from two States and two Tenching Hospitals in Kwara South and Egor Local Government Areas of Kwara and Edo State, Nigeria. Three research questions were raised to guide the study and three hypotheses formulated. Data were analysed using mean score and standard deviation, while t-test was used to test the formulated hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Result revealed that both teachers and nurses go through different types of family crises, ranging from financial, sexual, physical abuse, health and educational crises. There is a significance difference in types, rate and degree of crises experienced by teachers and nurses (p<0.05). Lack of understanding and individual differences were agreed to be major causes of family crises. Hidden talents, cooperation, and seeking for professional help were among the coping strategies that should be adopted to combat family crises. The paper recommended that family members should be optimistic,accept challenges and help each other to have high self esteem and be self reliant.Item Global Warming: Causes, Effects, and Control Measures(Association for the Promotion of Education, Health, Environment and Technology Research,(APREHET) University of Benin, Benin, Edo State, 2012-12) Gbadebo, C.T,; Babayeju, A.A; Uko-Aviomoh, E.E.Abstract Global warming which is an increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere, especially a sustained increase that causes climatic change, happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth's atmosphere, which increases the temperature of the earth's surface. This increase in tropped heat, changes the climate and alters weather patterns, which may hasten species extinction, influence the length of seasons, and lead to more frequent and severe storms and increase in the range of disease vectors. This paper explores Global Warming: Causes, Effects, and Control Measures. It discusses causes of global warming, the physica, ecological, social and economic effect of global warming on the environment, food supply and health of citizens. It focuses on the Nigerian situation concerning global warming and highlighted some control measures that can be applied to limit or eradicate global warming. The researcher is of the opinion that everyone in the society should put up conscious effort to find lasting solution to global warming, as it is believed that developing an aggressive plan of action can help reduce its negative impact. The following recommendations were made among others. There should be a change in peoples lifestyle to minimize the amount of green house gasses emitted into the air through application of measures such as a forestation reduced deforestation, carpooling, walking, use of fuel efficient vehicles and aircrafts alongside mass transportation and non-motorised means of transport, discreet use of television, computer, light our recycling items, e.t.c and there should be awareness creation in the society by the government to remove or check global warming. This paper would be beneficial to the stakeholders, manufacturers automobile engineers, individuals, the society and the government in their search of strategies to stop/reduce global warming and its hazardous effects.Item Influence of Television Viewing on Academic Performance: A case study of senior secondary school students in Kaduna State.(Association for the Advancement of Education, Health, Environment, and Technology Research, University of Benin, Edo State., 2011-04) Gbadebo, C.T,; Babayeju, A.A; Obalowu, M.A;Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the Influence of Television on Academic Performance of Senior Secondary School Students in Zaria Educational Zone, Kaduna State.
