Background: Emotional intelligence of nursing students helps them to adopt a healthy life style during stress.Coping is one of the wise choices of avoiding frustration which is the end product of stress and burnout. If individual want to handle the stress with effective and appropriate coping he or she should be an emotionally competent with high emotional intelligence. Methods: Participants were selected based on trait exhibited by particular group of interest. So adopted purposive homogenous sampling method for this study. After receiving informed oral consent students at Dhanvantri College of Nursing, Namakkal were adopted as participants for this study .With 5 participant’s data saturation point has been reached and preceded for the analysis. As this study aimed to explore the phenomenon of EI on coping strategy and to provide wide knowledge regarding the phenomenon there was a need to fuse individual’s subjective experience with the hermeneutic circle. So as this study design was Qualitative hermeneutic Phenomenological circle. Age and Birth order of the participants were demographic variable. To understand the concept of EI semi structured questions were framed on the basis of EI domains, all the verbatim reports were analysed by following interpretative phenomenological analysis and coping strategy of participants were expressed by the parent of the participants through mobile phone were recorded and analysed. Results:Participants with high emotional intelligence always deals the stress with their route cause and handle it easily in a problem focused style. Whereas Participants with low emotional intelligence deals stress with emotional focused strategy. And one more new concept (serendipity) were identified that birth order of the participants has greater influence on coping that is those born as second and fourth child shown problem focused coping strategy than the participant who born as first child.

This inquiry is predicated on the datum or truism that all technologies have a gap and or become obsolete at some point, and the utilization of passé technologies and methods predisposes the agricultural sector to underdevelopment. It investigates technological paucities and fixes for NSPRI technologies (NSPRI Smoking Kiln (NSK), Parabolic-shaped Solar Dryer (PSSD), Ice Fish Box® (IFB®), Hermetic Steel Drum (HSD) and Ventilated Plastic Crate (VPC)) from the perspective of users of the technologies. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design using the in person method as its feedback mechanism in 18 states across 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Data were obtained through interview schedules supplemented with key informant interviews while a multi-stage sampling procedure was employed in the selection of respondents. Firstly, eighteen (18) States where NSPRI postharvest technologies have been disseminated and adopted were purposively selected. Secondly, users of improved NSPRI postharvest technologies were selected from diverse locations within the states earlier selected. Non-probabilistic techniques particularly snowballing were also employed at this stage. Frequencies, percentages, means and weighted averages were employed in the analysis of data components. Results showed that 70% of respondents have never provided feedback on NSPRI technologies. Executives of various associations was used by 45% of NSK users, 59% of IFB users, and 48% of VPC users to provide feedback while 43% of PSSD users and 40% of HSD users shared opinions through NSPRI extension staff. In general, there exists a strong (NSK: 94% PSSD: 95.2% IFB®: 91% HSD: 88.6% VPC: 74.5%) willingness to recommend technologies among respondents even as they provided positive feedback on use parameters and components of the technologies. However, respondents opined that the roller and chimney (NSK), durability of polypropylene cover (PSSD), draining of thawed ice (IFB®), and bolted ring (HSD) require improvement.

Schooling is crucial to a country’s socioeconomic progress. No nation can progress without education, so every nation must provide a quality education so its population can participate in development. Raising the population’s education level is key to economic growth. The researchers were interested in the topic since using computers at a fundamental level can lead to better schooling. ICT in education has three purposes: teaching, administration, and personal (Kellenberger & Hendricks, 2000). A descriptive survey research design was used. Afienya circuits. The survey questionnaire analysis complemented the interview and document analysis. Using computers in primary schools in Mobole-Afienya Circuit encourages open learning, removes distance and time between teachers and students, supports the practice of previously taught concepts, and helps learners acquire concepts and skills like word recognition and vocabulary building. Most teachers in the Mobole-Afienya circuit believe that computers aid in content production, and research may be used for pedagogical activities and increase successful teaching.Most respondents feel computers may improve teaching and learning in elementary schools. Insufficient computers, a shortage of electricity and unpredictable power supply, poor internet connectivity, and insufficient teacher training and refresher courses were the primary problems facing computer use in public elementary schools, according to the report.

This study examined determinants of psychological health-seeking behaviour among students of selected public universities in Ghana. Specifically, the study investigated whether locus of control, stigma and culture have effects on the health-seeking behaviour of the respondents. The target population comprised 5,369 regular undergraduate students in four public universities in Ghana: University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), University for Development Studies (UDS) and University of Cape Coast (UCC). A sample of 588 respondents were selected from the four public universities for the study which adopted the mixed methods research design, employed questionnaire and interview for data collection. Locus of control, stigma, culture and attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help short form (ATSPPHS-SF) scales were employed to explore the relationship between health-seeking behaviour and locus of control, stigmatization and culture. Frequencies and percentages were the statistical tools used for the data analysis. Findings revealed that, each of the three independent variables (locus of control, stigmatisation and culture) had significant effect on the health-seeking behaviour of the respondents. These findings call for counsellors to focus on anti-stigma campaigns, while paying critical attention to the cultural orientation and the personality profiles of their clients.

Concerns regarding one's mental health that are not treated score highest among all diseases. Even though the world has made significant advancements in research and development and awareness of the impact of mental disorders is not properly recognised, developing countries still spend barely 2% of their health budgets on mental health services. This is despite the fact that anxiety and depression have increased by 25% during the last few years. In addition, the WHO reports that developing countries have spent barely any of their health budgets on mental health services. Emotional intelligence is necessary in order to sustain a relationship, boost job satisfaction, effectively handle the stress associated with kinfolk, and reframe adverse circumstances. Several studies point to the importance of emotional intelligence as a factor in the treatment of mental disorders. The emotional quotient (EQ), which is often commonly referred to as emotional intelligence, is the cutting edge of human intellect. It was much more challenging to overcome a mental ailment that had been brought on by a physical handicap. It can be quite challenging to cope with the inadvertent loss of eyesight caused by a retinal ailment, which can result in challenges on both a psychological and a financial level. The purpose of this research is to analyse the characteristics of emotional intelligence of early adults who have unexpected vision impairment owing to a retinal ailment by doing a critical review of previously published articles. In addition to that, the importance of psychosomatic ophthalmology is emphasised throughout this work.

Workplace stress is a worldwide problem. Aside from teaching, university instructors have numerous other responsibilities and are always stressed. The study's goal was to investigate the effects of stress on staff performance at Tamale Technical University. To analyze the issue, a qualitative case study methodology was used. Purposive sampling was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with 20 university lecturers. Thematic analysis was used to examine the acquired data. Workplace stress has a detrimental influence on employee performance, according to the findings. This study was done on tertiary education level employees at Tamale Technical University, which is located in the Northern Regional Capital Tamale. As a result, the research might be limited to a single place. However, this study is crucial in order to retain highly valued university staff. An attempt was made to identify job stress mitigation measures that individuals and employers may use to overcome job stress and increase performance. Management can take the required actions to control workers' workplace stress levels in order to improve their job performance. They may offer counseling, a meditation program, incentives, and other benefits that increase employee performance over time.

It's too bad that Teacher Trainees, who would be in charge of carrying out government education policies in elementary schools, don't do well when it comes to the Teaching Procedures, Strategies, and Methodologies needed to teach elementary math.This study was made for second-year education students at Dambai College of Education to help them get better at teaching how to add and subtract fractions with different denominators using real-world objects. Using Cuisenaire Rods as an intervention tool, the researcher came up with ways to improve how this important math concept is taught to students.The study involved fifty (50) Second-Year students, including 41 males and nine females, out of a total of two hundred (200). Samples for the study were selected using both stratified and random sampling strategies. The primary instrument for data collection was tests. The raw scores from both the pre-test and the post-test were put into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for analysis and interpretation.At the conclusion of the analysis and discussion of results, it was determined that the intervention tool led to a considerable improvement in student performance. The study recommends that tutors teaching mathematics in the Colleges of Education must be familiar with its usage so that they can incorporate these materials in their teaching process and more emphasis should be laid on the use of Cuisenaire rods especially at the Colleges of Education.
负责在小学执行政府教育政策的见习教师，在小学数学教学过程、策略和方法方面做得不好，这是很糟糕的。这项研究是针对孟买教育学院二年级的学生进行的，目的是帮助他们更好地教授如何使用现实世界中的物体进行不同分母的分数的加减运算。研究人员利用烹饪棒作为干预工具，想出了改进向学生教授这一重要数学概念的方法。这项研究涉及50名二年级学生，其中包括41名男生和9名女生，总共有200名学生。本研究的样本选择采用分层和随机抽样策略。收集数据的主要手段是试验。将前测和后测的原始分数放入SPSS (Statistical Package for The Social Sciences)中进行分析和解释。在对结果的分析和讨论的结论中，确定干预工具导致了学生成绩的相当大的改善。研究建议，在教育学院教授数学的教师必须熟悉它的用法，以便他们能够将这些材料纳入他们的教学过程中，并且应该更加重视烹饪棒的使用，特别是在教育学院。

The study investigated stress and coping strategies among first year students of College of Education Studies, University of Cape Coast. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. The study was guided by three research questions. The population for the study was first year students in the College of Education Studies, University of Cape Coast. A sample size of 300 students comprising 147 males and 153 females were selected. Cluster, proportionate and simple random sampling techniques were employed. An adapted version of the Students Stress Inventory and Stress Coping Style Inventory (SCSI) were the data collection instruments. Data were analysed using means and standard deviations. The findings indicated that there was high level of stress among the students. Also, it was revealed that environmental, financial and academic stressors were the major common stressors among students.

It was, therefore, recommended that students should make use of the University’s Counselling Centre to address their issues in the areas of academic, financial, environmental and interpersonal. Furthermore, students should be educated on both emotional-focused coping strategies and problem-focused coping strategies so that they can use them properly under different situations.
