The objective of this study was to determine the level of awareness, knowledge of benefits and use of ginger among the students of the Nigerian Army School of Education (NASE), Sobi-Ilorin Kwara State. The descriptive survey design was used to elucidate the awareness, knowledge of benefits and practice of ginger use. The population was all 350 students of NASE, Ilorin. They were purposively selected, from which 337 validly participated. The instrument for data collection was a validated researcher structured questionnaire. Test retest reliability was conducted and PPMC coefficient (r = 0.72) was obtained. Frequency and percentage were used for demographic data while t-test was used for testing the hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The result revealed that NASE, Ilorin students were highly aware of ginger, 312 (92.6%). There was significant difference between soldiers and officers in; awareness n = 337, t (335) = 4.94, p = 0.001, 2 = .007; health benefits n = 337, t (335) = 2.92, p = 0.004, 2 = .002 and performance purposes n = 337, t (335) = 2.48, p = 0.001, 2 = .002. It was concluded that majority of NASE students are aware of ginger, which they mainly consumed as drinks. Further study is necessary to ascertain the size of benefits and the best way ginger use would enhance the health and job performance of military personnel..
本研究的目的是确定索比-伊洛林夸拉州尼日利亚陆军教育学校(NASE)学生对生姜的认识程度、益处和使用情况。采用描述性调查设计来阐明生姜使用的意识、益处知识和实践。全部人口为伊洛林NASE的350名学生。他们是有目的选择的，其中337人有效参与。数据收集的工具是一份经过验证的研究者结构化问卷。进行重测信度，得到PPMC系数(r = 0.72)。人口统计学数据采用频率和百分比，假设检验采用t检验，α水平为0.05。结果显示，NASE、Ilorin学生对姜的认知度较高，有312人(92.6%)。士兵和军官在;意识n = 337, t (335) = 4.94, p = 0.001, 2 = 0.007;健康效益n = 337, t (335) = 2.92, p = 0.004, 2 = 0.002，性能目的n = 337, t (335) = 2.48, p = 0.001, 2 = 0.002。结论是，大多数NASE学生都知道姜，他们主要把姜作为饮料食用。有必要进一步研究，以确定效益的大小和生姜的最佳使用方式，以提高军事人员的健康和工作绩效。

Workers of fuel retail industry are exposed to many hazards as result of their job and behaviors. Management’s safety practices are important workplace preventive measures to reducing health and safety hazards. The purpose of this study was to explore the level of safety behaviors among pump attendants and the relationship between attendants’ safety behaviors and safety measures of the companies in the Sekondi-Takoradi. This survey involved 114 pump attendants from four purposively sampled oil marketing companies. Researcher generated questionnaire with Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency reliability of .81 was used to collect data, using SPSS version 16.0 with Pearson correlation as statistical tool. The results indicated that 70% of the respondents disagreed they sometimes ignore safety rules to get their work done quickly, while 86.8% disagreed they sometimes intentionally allow fuel to touch their body. Also, as 60% of the participants agreed they always change into house dresses after work, 78% agreed they always observe safety rules at their stations. Pearson bivariate correlation analysis showed that safety policy enforcement positively correlated moderately (r = 0.6) with attendants’ safety behavior while a low positive relationship was observed between personal protective equipment and safety behaviors of the attendants. The fuel attendants performed their jobs with high sense of safety. Furthermore, provision of appropriate workplace safety measures has positive relationship with the safety behaviors of the participants. Hence, instituting worksite safety policy and enforcing them will positively promote safe work performance among the attendants.

Status of anthropometric and fitness characteristics are usually considered as vital tools for health assessment. Although studies have reported that university students exhibit different health related lifestyles, gender comparative information on anthropometric and fitness characteristics in Ghana is scarce. The study examined gender disparity in anthropometric and fitness characteristics of apparently healthy university students. A cross sectional descriptive design approach was utilized. 120 randomly recruited university students (mean age 22.01 ± 2.29years, male, 67 and female, 53) participated in the study. Body weight, height, body mass index, waist and hip circumferences, trunk flexibility and static body balance were measured in a laboratory setting. Results showed that male had higher age (P < 0.05), height (P < 0.05), waist circumference (P < 0.05), waist-hip ratio (P < 0.05) and static balance (P < 0.05) significantly. Weight (P < 0.05) and body mass index (P < 0.05) were significantly higher in female. The proportion of anthropometric and static balance characteristics of male university students was higher than female while trunk flexibility of male compared favourably with their female counterparts. To encourage healthy living of female in this study, flexibly modified and friendly physical activity programmes are recommended.

Given the proliferation of technological tools being used in and outside of the classroom, physical education teacher education (PETE) faculty have a responsibility to effectively prepare preservice teachers in this area by offering information technology classes within PETE curriculum, as well as by integrating technology in their activity classes. iPad applications can add value to physical education; they are used to create opportunities for scaffolding of learning materials, monitor progress of motor skill and tactical performance through feedback, enhance self-reflection among students, help students self-assess and peer assess, and provide models of performance. Many of these applications can also be used to teach activities in PETE. This article describes how the use of iPad applications in an undergraduate PETE fencing course served as a catalyst in the process of self-discovery for students. This project provides practical guidelines for how specific technology can affect the student-teacher dynamic and the teaching-learning process in activity classes in a PETE curriculum.

Developing content knowledge in teachers presents a constant challenge for teacher educators. This article introduces a teaching and assessment tool called a content map, which allows teacher educators, teachers, and coaches to conceptualize the scope, sequence, and relational characteristics of the content being taught. Content maps emphasize specialized content knowledge by organizing and sequencing the instructional tasks. Content maps have a variety of uses in supporting the professional development of teachers, including serving as a tool that allows teachers to define the content to be taught in an instructional unit, a teaching tool that can be used to teach content knowledge, and an assessment tool to assess the content knowledge of preservice and inservice teachers.

Individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) rarely participate in health-promotion programs or wellness screenings due to the lack of accessibility, adaptations, and tertiary healthcare providers. An unconditioned body is more prone to suffer injury and is at risk for more severe health problems than a conditioned one. As is common in individuals with SCI, a physically inactive lifestyle is associated with secondary conditions such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, respiratory complications, urinary tract infections, pain, and depression. While there are many health and exercise programs available for able-bodied individuals, few of them can accommodate individuals with SCI. Wheelchair tai chi, a mind-body harmony exercise focusing on both physical and mental health, is suggested as an activity that could be made available for individuals with SCI. The purpose of this article is to introduce a wheelchair tai chi exercise program to promote the physical and mental health of students with SCI or other disabilities.
