    Impact of health education on prevention and control of Avian Influenza outbreak in Ilorin metropolis
    (Department of Human Kinetics and Health Education, University of Ibadan, 2008) Baba, D. A.; Ibraheem, T. O.
    This study examined the impact of health education on prevention and control of Avian Influenza outbreak in Ilorin metropolis. Three hundred poultry farmers from the three local government areas of the metropolis constituted the sample. A structured questionnaire that had been scrutinized by experts in the field was used for the study. The instrument was found reliable at 0.80r coefficient of correlation with a test-retest method. Descriptive research survey was adopted for the study. Three research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance. Data collected were analysed by the use of-chi-square statistics. The result of the study showed that available health information exerts much impact on prevention and control of Avian Influenza infection. The result also revealed that the level of health awareness of poultry farmers have impact on prevention and control of Avian Influenza infection. It was therefore recommended that government should endeavour to sensitise the members of the community in general and poultry farmers in particular on the risks and complications associated with Avian Influenza infection; and that poultry farmers should ensure regular and prompt sanitation to prevent breeding of the viruses causing the disease as well as preventing its spread.

    (2014) Obiyemi, O. O.; Ibraheem, T. O.; Ologele, Ibrahim
    Abstract The study reviewed physical education programme for students and challenges affecting Nigerian women in sports. Participation of students in physical education programme will improve their health status and safe them from the risk of developing diseases. Promoting active involvement of Nigeria women in sport, especially competitive sport had to contend with several problems such as culture, parent, religion, peer group, gender role, mass media and politics. Nigeria can only fulfill her aspiration of being among the top sporting countries of the world, if the problems faced by women in sport participation successfully addressed. The authors recommend amongst others that, government should give utmost attention for the teaching of physical education as a subject in Nigeria education system, mass media should organize enlightenment program that will eliminate all barriers faced by women that prevent them from full participation in sports.

    Production of Abrasive Sandpaper using Periwinkle Shells and Crab Shells.
    (Published by Deer Hill Publications, B-19-06 PV8, Platinum Hill Condominium Jalan Melati Utama, 53100 Kuala Lumpur Malaysia., 2020-06-30) Ambali, I. O.; Shuaib-Babata, Y. L.,; Abdulqadir, L. B.,; Ibrahim, H. K.,; Aremu, N. I.; Ibraheem, T. O.
    In this study, the properties of periwinkle shell and crab shell grains, such as hardness, compressive strength and wear resistancewere examinedfor their suitability as abrasive materials. The binding effect of polyester resin at high concentrationwas also considered. Through the processof crushing, grinding and subsequently sieving using ASTM E11 set of sieves, the shells were processedinto grit standards grain sizes of P40 and P60. Furthermore, by mixing and mould compression using a hydraulic press polymer matrix composite with particles varying from 96 wt.% to 92 wt.% and resin 3 wt.% to 7 wt.% with 1 wt.% each of cobalt naphthalene and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide hardenerrespectively were developedfrom the grits. It was found that, with an increase in polyester resin content, thehardness and compressive strength increased, while the wear rate decreased. The composition with 92 wt.% periwinkle shell grains to 7 wt.% polyester resin was found to be with the most improved abrasive properties.
