B.; Ibrahim, A.; Tawakalitu, K. I; Joseph, A. S.Undergraduates who engage in pre-marital sex inside and outside the school campuses are on the increase every day. This study investigates assessment of pre-marital sex, and causes among undergraduates the University of Ilorin. The purpose of the study was to assess whether peer group influence, mass media or poverty causes premarital sex among undergraduates in the University of Ilorin. The descriptive research design of survey type was used for the study. The population of the study comprised of all undergraduates reside school halls within the University of Ilorin. A multi-stage sampling technique which comprises of simple, proportionate and convenience sampling procedures were used to select two hundred and thirty (230) respondents out of participants in the ten undergraduates resident in the hostels as participants in the study. Researchers structured questionnaire was used. The reliability of the instrument established through test-retest method. The coefficient obtained was r = 0.83. Inferential statistics of chi-square was used to test the hypotheses developed for the study at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study indicated that peer group influence, mass media and poverty are major causes for pre-marital sex (92.83> 21.03, 90.57 > 21.03 and 88.14 >21.03). The researchers concluded that peer group influence, mass media and poverty are major factors responsible for premarital sex among undergraduates in the University of Ilorin. The researchers recommend that the government should improve the economic condition of Nigerian citizens by provision of sufficient funds for education/facilities in all Nigerian secondary and tertiary institutions to reduce the financial problem faced by students in schools due to low financial support from their parents.Item Dichlorvos Induced AChE Inhibition in Discrete Brain Regions and the Neuro-Cognitive Implications: Ameliorative Effect of Nigella Sativa.(Arak University of Medical Sciences in collaboration with the Iranian Society of Toxicology., 2017) Imam, A.; Adeboye, M. A. N.; Abdulmajeed, W. I.; Alli-Oluwafuyi, A.; Amin, A.; Ibrahim, A.; Gwadabe, S.; Poopola, N. A.Background: There has been a rise in accidental poisoning cases resulting from the indiscriminate use and exposure to Dichlorvos (DDVP), especially in developing countries, and no antidote with satisfactory efficacy is currently available. Thus, we investigated the AChE reactivation potential of Nigella sativa oil (NSO) following DDVP induced AChE inhibition patterns in the brain and the associated cognitive implications. Methods: Fourty Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups of 10 each.; The controls were administered PBS (1 ml/kg); DDVP (8.8 mg/kg) was given to the experimental group I; while DDVP+NSO (8.8 mg/kg + 1 ml/kg) and NSO (1 ml/kg) was administered orally to the experimental groups II and III respectively. All treatments lasted for 14 consecutive days. Morris Water Maze (MWM) paradigm was used to assess the working memory, then rats were euthanized, the brain excised, three brains were fixed for histological examination (Nissl staining), and the other seven brains were homogenized for AChE activity and Ca2+ concentrations. Data were analyzed statistically, using ANOVA method and P values of ≤0.05 was considered as significant. Results: In this study, DDVP differentially inhibited AChE activities in various brain regions: cerebellum (86.1%), hippocampus (40.6%), frontal cortex (33.2%), medulla (21.5%), spinal cord (14.8%), and occipital cortex (8.9%). It reduced Ca2+ concentration, but had no effect on the delayed escape latency in the MWM, nor impaired the neuroarchitectures. NSO caused increased AChE activities, Ca2+ concentration and reduced escape latency, and improved histologic architectures. Conclusion: We concluded that NSO reactivated DDVP-induced AChE inhibition and improved memory indices, thus, it may serve as a potential treatment in the management of DDVP poisoning cases.Item Health Communication through Socio-Emotional Wellbeing as Predictor for Successful Healthcare Delivery among People in Oyo Town(Faculty of Social and Management Sciences, Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria., 2021) Ologele, I.; Ibrahim, A.; Ogunsola, M. T.The purpose of the study was to examine the degree to which health communication through socio-emotional wellbeing predicted successful healthcare delivery system. The variables used were social, emotional and socio-emotional well-being. The target population were people of Oyo town. Six hundred respondents were used as samples. Stratified random sampling technique was used for choosing respondents across different working groups who were beneficiaries of healthcare delivery and incidental random sampling procedure was used to select respondents participated in the study in order to make sure that all the target population has equal chance to participate in the study. Three null hypotheses were formulated and tested. The instrument used for data collection was the researchers' structured and developed questionnaire which was validated by three experts in the field of Physical and Health Education. Its reliability was established through test re-test method, using the Spearman-Brown rank order correlation which gave the coefficient of 0.83. The data collected were analysed using Pearson product-moment correlation. The three null-hypotheses were rejected. This implied that health communication through socio-emotional well-being predicted successful healthcare delivery among people in Oyo town. Recommendations made include that, health communicators should respect and recognise the opinions of the receivers through positive interpersonal relationship so that the message will be properly comprehended and acted upon accordingly; and try as much to put his or her anger under control, in order to attract the attention of the audience to the health message resented for meaningful interpretation and corresponding action.Item Primary Health Care Provides Knowledge Of Occupational Blood Hazards Common To Health Care Personnel In Oyo East Local Government, Oyo State.(Department of Health Promotion and Environmental Health Education and Department of Human Kinetics Education, 2013) Baba, Dare A; Oguntunji, I.O; Ajadi, M.T,; Ibrahim, A.; Abdullahi, J.Item Prospects for dog rabies elimination in Nigeria by 2030.(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 2024) Abubakar, A.
