Electronic and Social Media Use among Secondary Students in Kenya

In the last decade, we have witnessed a sharp increase in the availability and use of electronic devices. Due to this, electronic devices have become an integral part of adolescent life with reports indicating ownership of at least one electronic media by students. There is increasing concern about the negative effects of excessive use of various electronic media by students but the monitoring of these behaviors is globally low. This necessitated the need for this study which investigated on usage of electronic and social media among students, and perceived influence of electronic media on students’ social behaviour. The study was guided by two objectives: To establish student electronic ownership and activities when using internet and to determine influence of electronic and social media on students’ social behaviour. The study is anchored on two theories: Social influence theory and the social innovation theory. Descriptive survey design was employed with a sample of 359 students. Data was obtained using a questionnaire. Quantitative data was analyzed by use descriptive statistics. Stratified and random sampling procedures were used to select participants. The study established that students frequently connected to the internet; students concentrated on searching sexual images and listening to sexual discussions and explicit music and that sex-texting was common. Common discussions among students focused on dating and explicit music, movies and celebrities. It was concluded that electronic media has a major influence on students life and students social behaviour. The study recommended that there is need to educate students on more effective use of electronic media.

Negative health effects of excessive use of vitamin D, vitamin C and zinc as food alternatives to prevent COVID-19

Covid-19 is one of six viruses belonging to human, leading to mild to severe respiratory diseases. During Covid-19 pandemic, good and balanced food is crucial before, through and after exposure to the virus, because there is in fact no particular food that prevents infection. A review article on the excessive use of vitamin C, D and Zinc as antiviral agents against COVID-19 was prepared and written during the global pandemic of the virus after the phenomenon of increased people’s consumption of vitamins and other supplements to prevent infection, after collecting information from various articles and scientific research published during 2020 through various search engines, from July 15 to August 25. In conclusion, there is not enough scientific evidence to give high doses of vitamin C or vitamin and zinc to prevent infection with the Covid-19 virus. Vitamin C is safe when used in high doses, but Vitamin D has toxic effects if the daily dose exceeds 50,000 IU and zinc can be fatal if the dose exceeds 10-30 gm.

Effect of excess viscosifier and fluid loss control additive on the rheological characteristics of water-based drilling fluid

Water-soluble polymers are used to improve drilling operations to ensure that oil and gas wells are drilled in less time and completed with minimized formation damage. However, excessive utilization of these polymers additives may have implication on the drilling outcomes. In this work, drilling fluids comprising of different compositions of polyanionic cellulose (PAC), and starch; and a constant amount of bentonite were formulated to examine the effects of excessive use of each additive or their combinations in a water-based drilling fluid (WBDF). The fluid properties were further investigated at low pressure and low temperature (LPLT) as well as high pressure and high temperature (HPHT). The results suggest that the viscosities of the fluid are not only dependent on the shear rate, shear stress, and composition but also on the temperature and pressure. Model plots of shear stress (Pa) against shear rate (s−1) using the Power law, Bingham plastic and Herschel-Bulley shows that all composition have low viscosity and low yield point. Increasing the amount of additive increases, the equivalent circulating density (ECD) which may increase differential sticking and consequent formation damage.

The Relationship Between Adolescent Women's Behavior Towards the Effects of Use of Natural Pain Relief in SMP Negeri 1 Panci Tongah, Simalungun Regency

Menstruation (menstruation) is the periodic discharge of blood and body cells from the vagina that originate from the lining of a woman's uterus. Menstruation begins at puberty and marks a woman's ability to bear children, although other health factors may limit this capacity. This event is so natural and natural that it is certain that all normal women will experience this process. However, in reality many women experience menstrual problems, one of which is menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) (Admin, 2008). The research was conducted at Panei Tongah Public Middle School 1, Simalungun Regency, on 139 respondents. There is a relationship between knowledge and the effect of using menstrual pain relievers at SMP Negeri 1 Panci Tongah, Simalungun Regency, with the P-Value of 0.001 0.05. There is no relationship between attitudes towards the effect of using menstrual pain relievers at Panei Tongah 1 Public Middle School, Simalungun Regency, where the value obtained is greater than the expected value (P Value 0.250 0.05). There is a relationship between action and the effect of using menstrual pain relievers at Panei Tongah 1 Public Middle School, Simalungun Regency. From the results of the Chi-square test, the P-Value is 0.001 0.05, so the hypothesis is accepted. It is hoped that young women will pay more attention to the effects of excessive use of pain relievers because this can be bad for health. It is hoped that the school will work closely with health workers to conduct health education in schools, especially for young girls.

Effect of nanofillers and nanotoxicity on the performance of composites: Influencing factors, future scope, challenges and applications

AbstractNanocomposites are the innovative form of materials used at the nanoscale (1–100 nm in size). Parent materials are insufficient to satisfy the desired requirement to fulfill all the needs, hence to enhance various performances of composites, a suitable nanofiller (nanoparticle) can be used. The present study focuses on nanocomposite properties, types, and characteristic features. Nanocomposites that take advantage of fibers and nanofillers synergistically contribute to improved properties and environmental conditions by making them suitable for a wide range of applications (aerospace, automobile industries, electronics, biomedical, etc.). Nanocomposites are now being used in almost every field and find a wide spectrum of applications, including waste water treatment, corrosion protection, and so forth. In the present study, the effect of excessive use of nanoparticles (nanotoxicity) has also been addressed.

Reconstruction of Post-pandemic Early Childhood Religious Attitudes Against the Effects of Excessive Gadget Use Through Sigmund Freud's Psycho-Analysis Approach

Over the past year, the pandemic has had a major impact on the use of gadgets, one of which is at an early age in Indonesia. The latest data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency in December 2020 showed that around 3.5% of children under five and 47.7% of preschoolers had used gadgets in their daily lives during the pandemic. Surely this can interfere with the development of early childhood, especially in the development of religious attitudes. This research is to obtain information about excessive gadget use in early childhood during the pandemic, as well as to obtain solutions and efforts to reconstruct early childhood religious attitudes towards the effects of excessive gadget use after analysis through the Freudian approach. The object of this research is early childhood (1-6 years) and their parents. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative research method, which was obtained from the study of literature. The results showed that the use of gadgets in early childhood during the pandemic was the lack of intensive supervision by each parent and also boredom during the pandemic. Solutions and efforts to reconstruct religious attitudes of early childhood to the effects of excessive use of gadgets post-pandemic can be done through Sigmund Freud's psycho-analysis approach by intensive parenting and games.

Effects of excessive use of technology on physical health

Excessive use of technology can be linked to an array of negative health effects. This article aims to outline some of the key effects experienced, as well as looking into how people feel about technology and how they deal with any health effects they experience. To gather information regarding the issue, a survey was conducted among 30 participants where they were asked a variety of questions regarding their technology use habits, opinions on the matter and how they deal with health issues. The results show that technology use is placed at a high importance when it comes to daily life, however participants still acknowledged that they feel they spend too much time using technology and do experience negative health effects (primarily headaches, eye strain and neck/shoulder pain). Interestingly, it was also found that treatment for these health effects is not always sought, and that participants don’t always proactively try to mitigate or treat said effects. The results made it clear that while there is an awareness of the negative health effects that are linked to technology use, due to the importance of the role that technology plays in society and how common it is, these effects are sometimes just dealt with as opposed to proactively finding proper treatments or solutions. Institutions offer generally little support in these matters, and while participants largely did not have a strong opinion on the matter, offering support for something that is so prevalent in the lives of everyone would be a great start.

Student engagement in the use of gadgets is usually online through mobile phones, computers, tablets and laptops. Generally, social media engagement with modern technology is a new phenomenon experienced by University students who are seen to have implications for their learning. The main objective of the study was to identify the positive and negative effects of gadgets on the development of student learning at the University. In addition, the researcher proposes steps to help students overcome the negative effects of excessive use of gadgets. This study was conducted using quantitative method that is by using ‘google form’ involving only 50 respondents consisting of students Moral Studies Subject of Year one (I) at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. The results show that the positive effects of the gadgets can help students find information on the subject and make it easier to complete their assignments. Also, using gadgets or modern technology can improve their quality of work. While the negative effect of the use of modern technology on learning is that students spend a lot of time playing video games, surfing social media and others that are on the smartphone. To overcome these negative effects, researchers suggest that every student should be good at dividing time to carry out tasks as students by prioritizing work over video games and social media.

A Novel Isolate of Bacillus cereus Promotes Growth in Tomato and Inhibits Clavibacter michiganensis Infection under Greenhouse Conditions.

The need to produce food in a sustainable way to counteract the effects of excessive use of agrochemicals opens the door to the generation of new technologies that are not based on fossil fuels and are less toxic to ecosystems. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) could represent an alternative to chemical biofertilizers and pesticides offering protection for biotic and abiotic stresses. In this work, a bacterial isolate from roots of castor bean (Ricinus communis) was identified and named as Bacillus cereus strain “Amazcala” (B.c-A). This isolate displayed the ability to solubilize inorganic phosphate and produce gibberellic acid (GA3). Moreover, this bacterium provided significant increases in height, stem width, dry weight, and total chlorophyll content in tomato plants. Interestingly, B.c-A also significantly decreased the severity of bacterial canker disease on tomato caused by Clavibacter michiganensis (Cmm) in preventive disease assays under greenhouse conditions. Based on our results, B.c-A can be considered as PGPB and a useful tool in Cmm disease control on tomato plant under greenhouse conditions.
