1. Title: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF "Click Click" TEACHING STRATEGY IN THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF GRADE SIX LEARNERS IN MATHEMATICS

Authors: Shallimar A. Bayucca / International Journal of Natural and Human Sciences Vol 1 No 2 (2020) 1–6

Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the effect of “Click Click” strategy in the academic performance of Grade six pupils in Mathematics. The study used an experimental method using posttest only design with a 20-item test questionnaire as an instrument to gather data from ninety-six (96) respondents using convenience sampling technique. This study used Microsoft Excel data analysis to treat the data with the use of the following statistical tools: weighted mean, standard deviation, and t-test. Result shows that the control group’s mean score was interpreted as having “Average Mastery” of the lesson upon receiving traditional way of teaching. While the mean score of the experimental group showed “Closely Approximating Mastery” of the lessons after receiving the “Click Click” strategy. The mean score of the experimental group is higher than the mean score of the control group. In addition, since the computed T-value is greater than the tabular value/ critical value, it rejects the null hypothesis which further means that there is a significant difference in the mean score on the posttest between the control and experimental groups. With the foregoing results, the researcher recommended using PowerPoint presentations with interactive slides to involve them in the teaching-learning process since pupils learn, play, and is entertained all in one. The result encourages school Administrators to provide the teachers opportunities to update themselves on the use of technology for them to be adept with the demands of their work in the present generation.


2. Title: RESEARCH AND REVIEW: ADVANCEMENT IN THE PHARMACOKINETICS OF ONE COMPARTMENT MODELING

Authors: Anupam Saha et al.,/ International Journal of Natural and Human Sciences Vol 1 No 2 (2020) 7–18

Abstract:

A basic, delicate review is gone for giving knowledge and to bring light upon the improvements in compartment modeling kinetics. Pharmacokinetics is the investigation of how a life form impacts a medication. Clinical pharmacokinetics (emerging from the clinical utilization of populace pharmacokinetics) is the immediate application to a helpful circumstance of information with respect to a medication's pharmacokinetics and the attributes of a populace that a patient has a place with (or can be credited to). Pharmacokinetics - A compartment is characterized as a gathering of tissues which act consistently concerning the medication development at times the body goes about as a solitary compartment to anticipate the development of medication amid assimilation, appropriation, and end. It is a trail to assemble One Compartment Modeling and subjects related to it in into a diagram and the topic to lucidity. This work could help in further research.

3. Title: EFFECT OF INTERCROPPED AND PHOSPHATE FERTILIZER ON THE GROWTH AND YIEDS OF RUBBER AND COCOYAM ON AN ULTISOL IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA


Authors: Idoko, S.O et al., / International Journal of Natural and Human Sciences Vol 1 No 2 (2020) 19–24

Abstract:

A two season field experiment was carried out at the Rubber Research Institute of Nigeria (RRIN) to evaluate the effect of matured rubber shade and rock phosphate fertilizer on the physiological growth of cocoyam and the yield of cocoyam and rubber intercropped in southern Nigeria. The trial was a factorial experiment arranged in a randomized Complete Block Design with each treatment replicated thrice. Data were generated on the physiological growth characteristics (Height, girth and number of leaves and leaf area) and the yield of cocoyam (corm) and rubber (latex). The results indicated that intercropping with matured rubber reduces the edible cormel yield of cocoyam by 27, 23, and 65% in the 0, 60 and 120 kg P ha-1 treatments, respectively. It also delayed the leaf shedding of cocoyam by about 9 weeks. However, the latex yield of rubber was not significantly affected by cocoyam intercropping. Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) values of 1.31, 1.60 and 1.68 were obtained from 0, 60 and 120 kg P ha-1 treatments respectively in the rubber/cocoyam intercrops indicating higher land use efficiency in intercropping cocoyam with matured rubber than planting cocoyam or rubber as sole crop. The higher land use efficiency and the possibility of securing subsistence through arable cropping while simultaneously gaining cash income through rubber latex would make cocoyam intercropping with matured rubber attractive to small holder farmers and ultimately increase the land area under rubber plantation in Nigeria.


4. Title: SGLT-2-Inhibitors: Drug Repurposing from Diabetes Mellitus to Heart Failure

Authors: Giuseppe Cocco and Philipp Amiet / International Journal of Natural and Human Sciences Vol 1 No 2 (2020) 25–30

Abstract:

Heart failure is a frequent highly debilitating pathology. Angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, β‐blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and valsartan/sacubitril have been shown to reduce mortality in chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. SGLT‐2 inhibitors (glifozines) have emerged as another therapeutic option in the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure, both with and without diabetes mellitus. The paper reviews the effects of SGLT‐2 inhibitors on the cardiovascular system and heart failure.


5. Title: Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Production and Adaptation Practices in Eastern Terai: A Case Study of Gauradha, Jhapa, Nepal

Authors: Tara and Ashutosh / International Journal of Natural and Human Sciences Vol 1 No 2 (2020) 31–50

Abstract:

Eastern Terai of Nepal has more agricultural production than rest part of Terai region of the country as summer monsoon enters in the country through this region. The climatic condition and the agricultural practices in the eastern Terai region of Nepal can be represented by climatic condition and agricultural practices of Gauradaha. This paper aims to analyze the people’s perception on climate change and adoptive practices of local farmers. The climate change induced water stress was established using analysis of climate change perception of the people belonging to different socio-economic strata. The analysis of perceived variability on agricultural water availability and adoptive practices was carried out through household survey of 108 respondent households of different strata along with focus group discussions with small, medium, and large farmers. The study identified there has been climate change induced water stress perceived by the farmers belonging to the three categories of the households. The analysis also revealed there has been change in crop practices in past four decades. This study established the fact that farmers have been using locally generated adoptive practices to form resilient agro-economics to cope water stress. Also, the study established the fact that small farmers without non-farm agricultural activities have more impact of water stress in their livelihoods.
