Produced water is considered the largest waste stream generated in the oil and gas industries, which has a high concentration of hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other pollutants. As the activity in the industries increases, the generated produced water has also increased worldwide. Therefore, treating it for reusing becomes very important from an environmental point of view. This paper aims to examine the importance of produced water treatment, the capacity of produced water as well as management, the reuse of oilfield-produced water, and some of the current methods available for produced water treatment. Production water treatment could be achieved with different processes or methods including physical, chemical, and biological approaches. The physical method usually involves filtration systems that uses screens, sand, etc to eliminate large suspended materials. The chemical method is a process of decreasing the harmful nature of an effluent by using some particular chemical. It also helps to recover appreciated by-products from harmful wastes, which reduces the general cost of waste disposal. While the biological method is to degrade organic compounds that are existing in the waste by microorganisms (aerobic and/or anaerobic). Raw-produced water is toxic, by using suitable technology, it can be treated for different reuse even as drinking water, especially for countries that suffer from water scarcity.

Since issues of employees’ motivation are recorded to be emerging with the current and predicted increases in low salary, delayed salary encourages turnover rates marked that human resources got dehumanized and stopped happiness to people. This study was designed to examine the relationship between motivation and employees’ satisfaction, explore the factors influencing Motivation to enhance employees’ satisfaction and determine the factor structure of Motivation, enhancing employees’ satisfaction in Public Health Hospital.
This research design was cross-sectional and descriptive, using quantitative approaches from a population of 838 persons. The purposive and simple random sampling technique was employed to select 260 respondents using The Likert scale. A set of attitude statements was presented as closed-end structure questionnaires and interview guides. SPSS version (20.0) and EPIDATA Program for coding (CSpro 7.5 version) were used to analyze the data. The results were presented using Spearman correlations coefficient, Regressions, ANOVA of variance and factor analysis structure loading to predict the variable relationship.
The finding showed that there is a significant positive relationship between motivation and employees’ satisfaction (r=0.003, P-value < 0.01). Enhancing and employees’ satisfaction (r=0.082, p-value <0.01). Motivation is significantly correlated with employees’ satisfaction. However, motivation and employee’s satisfaction (r=0.128, p-value < 0.01)), the staff with more opportunities for motivation are more likely to offer quality services. Indeed, employees with high motivation deliver quality services, indicating that employees’ satisfaction depends on motivation.

Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient needed in small amounts for, among other uses, the normal functioning of the visual and immune systems. The deficiency of this vital nutrient, therefore, compromises a children's ability to fight diseases and increases their risk of getting sick. The World Health Organization recommends Vitamin A Supplementation (VAS) as a strategy to combat the effects of vitamin A deficiency, but unfortunately, the coverage is low (64% in priority countries and 59% in East and Southern Africa, as reported in UNICEF global nutrition database 2000-2021). The study area recorded low coverage at 26% in 2019 and 54.9% in the year 2020. This study employed a descriptive cross-sectional study design to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practices among caregivers of children 6-59 months regarding vitamin A supplementation in Vihiga County, Kenya, and the influencing factors. In total, 393 caregivers out of the sample size of 400 (98.3%) were recruited into the study. Binary logistic regression was used to determine associations between variables and a p-value <0.05 was considered significant. High VAS awareness was reported in this study, with 90.6% of caregivers having heard of VAS. The main sources of VAS information were health workers (74.3%) and Community Health volunteers (53.2%). Other sources were Radio & TV (6.9%), Social gatherings (7.1%). There was, however, low knowledge of the benefits of VAS (30%) and the problems associated with vitamin A deficiency (30.3%). Sadly, a quarter of caregivers (24.6%) did not know any VAS benefit. A significant proportion of caregivers (77.6% p=<0.001) had adequate knowledge of VAS, scoring more than half of the 10 knowledge questions. In addition, caregivers displayed a highly positive attitude towards VAS, scoring between 88.3% and 92.6% on attitude questions. There was low VAS uptake, with only 59.5% of children having taken the supplement during the semester preceding the survey, mainly sourced from health facilities (68.4%), outreach (15.8%), CHV (10.7%) and the ECDE centres (5.1%). For children who missed VAS in the semester of reference, 38% of caregivers indicated they had no reason for missing, 20% said there was no need since the child had completed immunization, while others just forgot (9%). The key drivers of VAS uptake were knowledge (p=<0.001), availability of services at health facilities (p=0.001) and services by community health volunteers) p=0.028). Although more than three-quarters (77.6%) of caregivers demonstrated good knowledge, it did not correspond to the VAS uptake recorded in this study, pointing to a knowledge-practice gap. The VAS knowledge was shallow in terms of specific areas like benefits. The caregivers, however, had very positive attitudes towards VAS. Further, this study concludes that better knowledge is an important ingredient for VAS uptake and recommends implementing programmes to improve caregiver knowledge and optimization of the variou

One of the major priorities for most organizations today is the need to improve employee productivity. Insurance firms have, in the recent past, experienced low levels of employee productivity. Prevalent issues of concern are: absenteeism, prolonged and unproductive meetings, failure to delegate, procrastination, poor quality of work, lack of professionalism, and burnout, amongst others. This paper sought to investigate the effect of time management tendencies on employee productivity. The specific time management dimensions interrogated included: goal setting, planning behaviors, scheduling and prioritizing. An explanatory research design was adopted for the study targeting 150 employees, out of which 108 respondents formed the sample size. The findings revealed that goal setting and scheduling had a significant effect on employee productivity, while planning behavior and prioritization did not affect employee productivity. The paper contributes to knowledge and provides insights into theory and practice.

This paper examines the three movements that characterize the ownership and management of lands and natural resources in Ghana since the start of British colonial rule. First, we explore the different stratagems employed by the colonial State in its attempt to introduce the failed Crown Lands Bill that sought to give it control over the locals' lands. Next, we turn the spotlight on the state-centric approach to ownership of lands and natural resources adopted by the post-independent State, particularizing the reasons for the new approach. Finally, we discuss the defining features of the current movement, whose seeds were sown at the close of the second movement but only germinated properly in 1992 with the birth of the Fourth Republic. The paper argues that an appreciation of the different shades that undergird these movements is a crucial step towards understanding the current land tenure system and creating the future we hope for as far as the ownership and management of lands and natural resources in Ghana are concerned.

There are various forms of Media that have a wider reach of communication, such as newspapers, radio, television, internet-based websites, and magazines. These have a major impact on politics, especially television, radio and newspapers. However, media reporting has received a reaction from political leaders and, in some cases, banned for what is deemed negative reporting against the ruling government. This paper explores the relationship between media and politics in the context of democratic tenets. The study used both secondary and primary sources of data collection. A total of 25 participants took part in this study as key informants. These were selected through purposive sampling and several official and academic documents were reviewed to address this study's aim. The collected data were analysed through a thematic, methodological approach. The findings show that the influence that the Patriotic Front (PF)'s time in government was defined by both successes and a shrinking media space for political debates and information sharing with the public. It was found by this study that television stations, such as Prime TV, with highly politicised content being aired, were bridled by the government to the point of their closure. This study has revealed that various political party structures of the Patriotic Front were used to intimidate the media. Based on the findings, it can be argued here that media houses' critical role in politics was not consolidated but rather constrained during the period under study.

The purpose of this study, which is based on a mixed-method design and descriptive analysis, is to examine the readiness of twenty-five students in multimedia, which is a key pathway in the study of Graphic Design at the University of Education in Winneba's Department of Graphic Design. The research will be conducted at the University of Education in Winneba's Department of Graphic Design. Students do not have access to the fundamental instruction or the resources that are necessary to complete their schoolwork or projects. As a result, the goal of this study was to investigate the effects of students' unprepared attitudes toward their inability to obtain tools for their studies in Multimedia as part of the Bachelor of Art in Graphic Design Programme at the University of Education, Winneba. This programme is offered at the University of Education, Winneba. To investigate how the current circumstances impact the teaching and learning of Multimedia as a primary area of study within the department, the researchers concentrated their efforts on two unique level groups. To collect data for this study through unstructured interviews and observations, a total of twenty-five students and five senior members of the organization were purposefully recruited. An analysis utilizing descriptive and narrative methods was performed on the primary data that was obtained. Students at the Department of Graphic Design who were majoring in Multimedia were unable to purchase the essential instruments, which meant that they were unable to properly acquire the knowledge and abilities necessary for their field of study. It was discovered that the percentage of pupils who lacked access to resources that may help them with their academics rose with each successive year group. This was the case for both public and private schools. The researchers have proposed, as a potential solution that the Department of Graphic Design at the University of Education, Winneba, in collaboration with a private business, sell high-end tools on credit, with a payment plan to be spread out throughout their studies through the use of a signed contract. This would be done to make the purchase more affordable for the students.

Annona muricata L. (soursop) fruit, consumed globally, is highly susceptible to attack by fungal organisms. Fungal fruit rots' impact on Annona muricata is gradually increasing globally, with distribution in tropical areas, including southern Nigeria, resulting in reducing market availability and fruit quality. This study was aimed at surveying the post-harvest disease symptoms associated with Annona muricata fruits displayed for sales and the disease incidence-severity, which indicates the extent of the damage caused by the symptoms. Soursop fruit samples in Port Harcourt Local Government Area (PHALGA) and Obio-Apkor Local Government Area in Rivers State, Nigeria, were surveyed. Each fruit was scored on a disease severity scale of 0–4 (0% no disease), (1–25% trace of disease), (25–50% light disease), (50–75% moderate disease) and (75–100% severe disease). The data obtained were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% level of probability using LSD (Least Significant Difference). The study revealed that Annona muricata fruits were dominated by fungal disease symptoms of dry rot, soft rot, anthracnose, powdery mildew and diplodia fruit rot. There was no significant difference between location pairs for all disease symptoms of incidence and severity of Annona muricata, respectively. Fungal diseases at the post-harvest stage pose a threat to storage durability, distribution and market availability of fruits.

Records at the University of Education, Winneba discloses that in 2017, the Vice Chancellor of the University, together with five other officers, was sacked. Following this situation was a massive transfer of staff members alleged to be sympathizers of the six dismissed staff members to other campuses of the institution and the suspension of some staff members. This led to several court hearings that made the University popular via the media with continuous controversies. This study is a case study conducted at the University of Education, Winneba that seeks to follow up on the implications of the primary court action that initiated the termination of appointments of staff members and examine the experiences of victims of the University's impasse between 2017 and 2022 when a High Court ruling directed the reinstatement of duty of the dismissed members. This study investigates the reintegration process of staff returning to the institution and seeks to examine the measures taken over the period to address the psychological implications of the impasse.
