Participation in sports is a topic that has gained considerable attention over the years. While many scholars argue that sports participation results in high academic output among student-athletes, others contended that it decreases academic performance. There is another school of thought that has established that participation in sports promote absenteeism. Despite these discussions, there is a gap in the literature on the relationship between absenteeism and academic performance among student-athletes particularly in a developing country like Ghana. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between absenteeism and academic performance among 203 student-athletes in two public senior high schools in the Obuasi Municipality of Ghana. A census was employed to gather data from all the student-athletes who were in form three and form two. A generated form that solicits student-athletes end of semester results in the core subjects English, Mathematics, Integrated Science, and Social studies, and attendance for two semesters was the main instrument used to gather the data. Data was analysed using percentages and correlation. The results showed that student-athletes attendance to classes was high and their academic performance was also good. The results further revealed that the academic performance of the student-athletes is linked to their class attendance. It is recommended that the management of senior high schools and other stakeholders within the Obuasi Municipality should find ways of encouraging students to participate in school sports and attend classes regularly since that might improve their academic performance.

OBJECTIVE: To correlate Guillain-Barré as a consequence of the Post-COVID-19 syndrome, evaluating the pathophysiological, immunogenic and epidemiological mechanisms. METHODOLOGY: A systematic review was carried out, with secondary data, using articles published in the following databases: Latin American Caribbean Literature on Science and Health (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library (ScIELO) and Pubmed; using the descriptors: Guillain-Barré syndrome; Demyelinating Diseases and COVID-19, using the Boolean operator “AND”, swapping between them. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: According to Abu-Rumeileh et al. (2021), patients with COVID-19, even if asymptomatic, were more likely to develop GBS, with a predominance of the male population, in the classic sensorimotor form and in acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, with an increase in pediatric cases also being observed, due to of the wide age range of Sars-Cov-2. The post-infection immune-mediated pathophysiological mechanism observed some predisposing factors, namely: neurological symptoms after Sars-Cov-2 infection, improvement of the clinical picture of GBS with immunomodulators and absence of viral RNA in the cerebrospinal fluid. CONCLUSION: Guillain-Barré Syndrome consists of an immune-mediated neuromuscular condition usually subsequent to an infectious process, which triggers an inflammatory response followed by a molecular mimicry that causes an autoimmune response in the individual's peripheral nervous system. Although there is no consensus in the scientific community regarding the causal relationship between COVID-19 and GBS, it is believed that infection with the new coronavirus precipitates an immune-mediated reaction that triggers this neuromuscular condition characterized by progressive, symmetrical and ascending weakness, in addition to areflexia.

It’s well know that the use of medicinal plants for treatment of diseases are tradicional practice and sterted at the beginning of medicine and the knowledge the went through generation to generation. Goal: Analyze studies about the use of medicinal palnts to treatment and prevantion for COVID-19 inside the national and internacional scientific journals in the last three years. Method: It’s an integrative literature review which analyzed the quantitatives data. The Virtual Library Health was used for research during the months of Octuber to November. Results:About the mean question was found just fews studies that could answer this research goals, 8 (0,65%) researchs show that the use of medicinal palnts need be more explore for achieved a better understament. Coclusion: the data collect show that some plants like Turmeric working a positive way for treating symptoms of COVID-19, also was found another kinds of plants, we have the exemplo of the maoto as a pre-exposure treatment measure for the virus. So medicinal plants have the potential to be used as a treatment for COVID-19 but we need more research about the properties of these plants.

The study investigated the main obstacles and/or opportunities that women students from a public university experience when reconciling career and family. For data analysis, inferential statistics were used. The population comprised women students from the last year of the Administration course at the State University of Paraná – UNESPAR/Campus Paranaguá. The sampling was of the simple random type. In order calculate the sample size, a tolerable sampling error of 10% was used. Most of the interviewees work outside the home, are aged between 18 and 29 years old, they are single, do not have children and their income is between one and three minimum Brazilian wage. The multiplicity of simultaneous roles often assumed by some women (mother, housewife, student, wife among others) requires an effort, sometimes undervalued, to reconcile and adapt the demands of the family, social, professional and academic environment. Despite the existence of a support network, the challenges as a woman in reconciling the various activities make us reflect on whether such support actually is materialized in practice.

Bowel symptoms, such as diarrhea, have higher prevalence during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The correlation between the severity of these symptoms and their prognosis has not been defined yet. Furthermore, higher prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms after recovery from COVID-19 has been reported. This study aimed to analyze the correlation of potential factors with the severity of diarrhea during COVID-19 and to assess the progression of post-COVID-19 bowel symptoms. This prospective longitudinal cohort included 109 patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 symptoms who were hospitalized from May to July 2021. Patients were interviewed to assess the presence and intensity of bowel symptoms during COVID-19 and 3–6 months after hospital discharge using the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale questionnaire. Demographic and clinical data were obtained and their correlations with the intensity of bowel symptoms were examined. The presence of severe diarrhea was correlated with the need for ventilatory support and the use of anticoagulants but not with the use of antibiotics. In addition, bowel symptoms, such as loose stools and incomplete evacuation but not diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain, persisted for at least 3–6 months after hospital discharge. These results suggest that the severity of diarrhea during COVID-19 may be associated with worsening of the disease and that only loose stools and incomplete evacuation are present after COVID-19. The chronicity of these bowel symptoms should be evaluated to improve the treatment of patients with COVID-19.

To systematically review literature in relation to the effects of health education interventions on the level of physical activities for police officers. A systematic review of controlled clinical trials, real-life experiences, quasi-experimental and observational studies investigating the effects of health education interventions in relation to the level of physical activities for police officers. The following electronic data-bases were adopted: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Education Resources Information Center and Plataforma Rede Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Trabalhador. Data collection was carried out in accordance with the main items for systematic reviews. Five articles were selected (N=1302 participants). Improvements to primary and secondary outcomes in the interventions performed in groups or individually, in person and with long-term monitoring, were observed. With reference to the outcomes, educational interventions enabled the improvement, in a statistically significant manner, of the level of physical activities (60% of the studies), reduce body mass index (60% of the studies) and reduce arterial blood pressure (20% of the studies). Educational interventions are capable of improving the level of physical activities, body mass index and arterial blood pressure for police officers.

The Covid-19 pandemic brought several challenges to the educational system with regard to the continuity of classes in the context of an Emergency Remote Education (ERE). Among these challenges, we highlight the intensification of disinterest and low participation of students in chemistry classes and the insufficiency of didactic proposals that work with School Inclusion (SI), with a focus on accessibility for the deaf. The ERE model lasted 2 (two) years, after this period, teachers had to face a new change in the school scenario: Post-pandemic Face-to-Face Teaching (post-pandemic FFT). Thus, with the return to classes, the challenges mentioned were accentuated, bringing again the demand for the adoption of new educational strategies. Within this context, this article is justified in the development of a pedagogical intervention focused on the inclusive teaching of Chemistry in the post-pandemic FFE, linked to the principles of Green Chemistry (GC) and the 6th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). This action aimed at the elaboration of accessible didactic materials, together with the application of an experimental, contextualized, and sustainable practical class called: Batch Adsorption with activated charcoal from the endocarp of the coconut (biodegradable adsorbent). The results of the research showed that the adoption of the contextualization methodology, concomitantly with the development of the practical activity, pointed to an improvement in the teaching of Chemistry in the post-pandemic face-to-face model. Therefore, sustainable experimentation effectively contributed to the learning process and a more critical look at the socio-environmental issues discussed.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the production and nutritive value of the hydroponic forage of corn and pearl millet grown in different organic substrates. It was carried out in a completely randomized design in 2 x 3 factorial scheme with four replications. The grasses used were corn and pearl millet and sugarcane bagasse, chopped elephant grass and chopped Brachiaria grass as substrates. The harvest was carried out 15 days after sowing, with seed density of 2 kg/m², irrigated with water and commercial nutrient solution. The productive parameters and chemical composition of the hydroponic forage were evaluated. The use of sugarcane bagasse substrate resulted in a greater production of total dry mass for corn among the other treatments, which reflected in better efficiency in the production parameters. As for substrates composed of chopped grass, lower values of neutral detergent fiber were identified in both corn and pearl millet. The substrates and grass species affect the evaluated parameters, in which the use of sugarcane bagasse resulted in greater total production of dry mass using corn. The substrates based on chopped grass reflected in biomass with reduced fiber content, high levels of digestible nutrients, in addition to high protein content.

The substrates based on chopped grass reflected in biomass with reduced fiber content, high levels of digestible nutrients, in addition to high protein content.","PeriodicalId":13726,"journal":{"name":"International journal for innovation education and research","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75334394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, practically all colleges and universities in the United States shifted their conventional instructional mode of the in-person face-to-face classroom teaching to the virtual online instruction in the middle of the spring 2020 semester. While online-only institutions, majority of which are for-profit, eagerly promoted their online education, all of the conventional colleges and universities struggled to provide the necessary training for the instructional faculty and to assure students and their parents that the quality of their college education would not be compromised. In this research, we explored the impact of such quickly adopted online instruction as an inevitable alternative during the pandemic on the student learning as the pandemic placed them in a natural quasi field experimental condition. We found a significant difference in the student learning outcome recorded in the semester grade between the two periods: the difference is particularly prominent in non-participation or withdrawal from the learning process as reported in the grades of fails and withdrawals. Implications of the study for college and university enrollment and the compelling need for further study are discussed.
