Ethnomedicinal Resources of the Indigenous People’s (IP) Groups in the SOCSARGEN Region

An ethnomedicinal study was conducted to document the medicinal plants used, the manner of preparation and application in the treatment of ailments and the consensus in the use of medicinal plants to treat various ailments among four (4) indigenous people's groups, the Obo in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato, T'boli in Maitum, Sarangani Province, and Blaan and Tagakaolo in General Santos City. The ethnobotanical interview was conducted using open-ended semi-structured questionnaires among identified traditional healers and elders as well as the household in the community. A total of 136 plants species, mostly herbs (47%), have been recorded with the corresponding conditions or illnesses in which they are believed to exert a therapeutic effect. Plant parts utilized for traditional medicine of the 4 IP groups include leaves (38%), roots (25%) and bark/stem (16%). Decoction (54%) and direct consumption (27%) applied via oral route are the common traditional medicine preparation. The IP communities in the SOCSARGEN Region have a rich pharmacopeia of traditional medicinal plants that persist through time despite the availability and convenience offered by modern medicine.

Modern poetry, popular song and their dangerous liaisons

In this article, Tsuboi Hideto examines the mutually entwined pursuits of modern poetry and music in interwar Japan, focusing especially on the work of Nakahara Chūya, Kitahara Hakushū, and the People's Poetry group. Cutting across their respective distinctions within the poetry establishment, Tsuboi draws attention to these figures’ shared investment in symphonic, folk and popular music. In so doing, he identifies among them a prevailing concern for curating a poetic voice that might harmonize the conflictual registers of individual and collective expression and thereby attune the work of the poet to that of the ‘people’ more broadly. Meanwhile, the essay traces the currents of modernist and avant-garde thought in Japan and Europe that framed these poets’ engagements with music and sound. Tsuboi then illustrates the varying degrees to which these voices, forged within the cosmopolitan milieu of the Taisho period, bent toward the nationalizing project and later gave way to the chorus of wartime fascism and imperial expansion.

Planificación Centrada en la Persona: metodología de apoyo para que cada persona con discapacidad dirija su vida. La experiencia de ASPRODEMA.

La Planificación Centrada en la Persona (PCP) es una metodología desarrollada en los años 80 del siglo XX, orientada a promover que las personas con discapacidad intelectual o del desarrollo tengan la oportunidad de dirigir su propia vida. Durante el proceso de PCP la persona cuenta con el apoyo de personas de confianza que ella elige entre familiares, profesionales y amigos de su entorno. Esta metodología es coherente con varios de los principios de la práctica profesional del trabajo social y otras profesiones de la intervención social. Este artículo, aparte de describir en que consiste la PCP, describe cuál ha sido el proceso seguido por el Grupo ASPRODEMA para implantar la PCP como metodología de apoyo para la elaboración de Planes de Vida de personas usuarias de sus servicios desde 2008, y el cambio de modelo de atención que ha supuesto en el conjunto de la organización. Esta experiencia ha conseguido que 49 personas, algunas de ellas durante al menos 10 años, planifiquen metas personales y dirijan su vida. Esta metodología responde a los conceptos de Derechos Humanos, Calidad de Vida y Autoderminación que deben orientar, tanto los servicios dirigidos a la prestación de apoyos y atención de las personas con discapacidad intelectual, como la intervención profesional del Trabajo Social con este colectivo de personas. Al final de este artículo presentamos seis ejemplos de experiencias de éxito, algunos resultados globales en las personas, sus familiares y circulo de apoyo, y unas conclusiones en relación con la experiencia en PCP del Grupo ASPRODEMA en estos últimos años.

ON THE STONE WORSHIPPING MEDIUM PEDEWAQ PERFORMED BY HINDU WORSHIPPERS AND WETU TELU MUSLIMS IN LINGSAR DISTRICT, WEST LOMBOK REGENCY, INDONESIA

The Balinese (ethnic people origin from Bali Island), who are Hindus, and the Sasaknese (ethnic people origin from Lombok Island), who are WetuTelu Muslims, perform the religious ritual at the same time at Lingsar Temple complex. It is unique that the same ritual is performed by two different groups of people with different faiths at the complex of Lingsar Temple. They also use the same worshipping medium of stones, which is referred to as Pedewaq . Therefore, it is necessary to identify the Pedewaq worshipping ritual which is performed by the Hindus and WetuTelu Muslims at Lingsar District, West Lombok Regency. The qualitative research method with anthropological approach is used in the study. The problems of the study were analyzed using the theory of religion as a cultural system which is proposed by Cifford Geertz, the theory of structural functionalism, and the theory of symbolic interactionism. They were all eclectically employed. The data were obtained using the participatory observation, in-depth interview, and documentation study. The material of the stone medium was investigated scientifically under X-ray diffractometer and X-ray fluorescence for crystal and element identification. The result of the study indicate that the Pedewaq worshipping ritual performed by the Hindus and WetuTelu Muslims in Lingsar District, West Lombok Regency causes the Hindus to enhance their sradha and bhakti .In addition, such a ritual also strengthens the belief of the WetuTelu Muslims in the traditions which have been carried out through the worshipping ritual using Pedewaq stone as the medium. The padeweq stone is found reach with Silicon (Si), Iron (Fe), Calcium (Ca) and Aluminium (Al). The Padewaq stone samples also was found reach with crystal of andesine, jensenite and actinolite. In addition, the performance of such a worshipping ritual causes the people’s tolerance to increase, the creative economic opportunities to be more available, and the culture to be conserved. Apart from that, the performance of such a worshipping ritual also strengthens the religious tolerance in West Lombok, and maintains the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia

The Illegality of Sex Discrimination in Contracting

Discrimination on the basis of sex in the sale of goods and services, a practice that puts women at a severe disadvantage in the marketplace, is widespread and remains largely tolerated. This Article argues that the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (now codified as 42 U.S.C. § 1981), the first civil rights law in our nation’s history, should be read to prohibit such discrimination. The Civil Rights Act of 1866 broadly pronounces that “all persons . . . shall have the same right . . . to make and enforce contracts . . . as is enjoyed by white citizens.” Yet the statute’s expansive language and the moral principle of nondiscrimination it expresses has been misinterpreted to exclude claims of sex discrimination in contracting. In this Article, I suggest an interpretation that acknowledges women’s disfavored social status in the nineteenth century and concludes that the statute should be read to support sex discrimination claims. Specifically, I argue that by “white citizens,” Congress could only have been referring to the group of people who at the time the law was passed exercised the unfettered right to contract—that is, white men. Under this reading of the statute, a woman who could demonstrate that she had not been treated equally to white men when making or enforcing a contract could state a claim for sex discrimination under Section 1981. This Article contends that such an understanding of Section 1981 is preferable to traditional readings that exclude claims of sex discrimination. Such readings are inconsistent with the U.S. Supreme Court’s interpretative methodology in civil rights cases and suffer from other historical and interpretative flaws. By adopting the approach advocated in this Article, courts would at last give full effect to the principle of nondiscrimination that Section 1981 embodies, and would ensure that women would no longer be required to pay more than men for goods and services in the marketplace.

IS AFFIRMATIVE ACTION NECESSARY FOR BOTSWANA

This study sought to find out if affirmative action is necessary in Botswana given the fact that various groups of people are being discriminated against in various ways. These groups of people include: ethnic minority groups, married women, and girls. The study answered various questions and addressed various objectives. The questions were: 1. Should minority languages be used to broadcast certain programmes in the national media such as national radio stations and the national television station? 2. Should minority languages be used in the print media to disseminate information of national importance? 3. Should minority languages be used as media of instruction in Botswana public primary and secondary schools? 4. Should neutral words be used to name land boards and the country Botswana instead of the use of names that promote the languages of the majority ethnic groups as it is currently the case? 5. Should the requirement that married women get the consent of their husbands to obtain loans from banks or when applying for plots (land) be discontinued? 6. Should cultures that promote the education for boys at the expense of education for girls discontinue the practice? 7. Should the number of women both in Parliament (National Assembly) and Councils be increased to ensure that women have more representations in these institutions? 8. Should all senior tribal authorities recognized by their tribes as chiefs be referred to as Paramount Chiefs so that the House of Chiefs become a non-discriminatory institution? 9. Based on the responses, what recommendations can you make that can be implemented to remedy the current situation in which minority languages are marginalized and discriminated against in broadcasting all the programmes on national radio stations and Botswana’s only television station? The objectives were: 1. To find out if the minority languages in Botswana should be used to broadcast certain programmes in the national media such as the national radio stations and the national television station. 2. To find out if minority languages should be used in the print media to disseminate information of national importance.3. To find out if minority languages should be used as media of instruction in Botswana public primary and secondary schools.4. To find out if neutral words should be used to name land boards and the country Botswana instead of the use of names that promote the languages of the majority ethnic groups as it is currently the case.5. To find out if the requirement that married women get the consent of their husbands to obtain loans from banks or when applying for plots (land) should be discontinued. 6. To find out if cultures that promote the education for boys at the expense of girls should discontinue the practice.7. To find out if the number of women both in Parliament (National Assembly) and Councils should be increased to ensure that women have more representations in these institutions/8. To find out if all senior tribal authorities recognized by their tribes as chiefs should be referred to as Paramount Chiefs so that the House of Chiefs becomes a non-discriminatory institution. 9. To determine recommendations that can be implemented to remedy the current situation in which minority languages are marginalized and discriminated against in as far as the national media is used in Botswana. The study intended to sample a reasonable number of students in a class of thirty-five (35). Questionnaires, which were the only data collection instrument used, were distributed to all students in class. Only four (4) students responded to the questionnaire. They therefore, formed the sample for the study. The study found that all the groups identified (ethnic minority groups, married women, and girls) were discriminated against in various ways by various groups of people in Botswana. As a result, affirmative action was found to be a necessary remedy to address the situation and various recommendations were identified to address specific situations. For example, on the issue of exclusion of minority ethnic groups’ languages with respect to their use in the national media, it was recommended that these languages be used in such media so that they are treated with equal dignity visa-a-vis the languages of majority ethnic groups.

Investigating the Factor Structure and Psychometric Properties of the Iranian Version of the Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale

Introduction: Plastic surgery and its acceptance have been increasing in recent years. People have different psychological problems. In recent years, studies have emerged on this group of people. However, there is no tool that can assess the acceptance of plastic surgery. Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Iranian version of the Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale (ACSS). Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 226 students were selected through convenience sampling among students of Hormozgan University during the academic year 2014–2015. In order achieve the aims of this study, the Iranian version of the ACSS was completed. The data was analyzed using internal consistency, composite, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The reliability of the scale was obtained by calculating the internal consistency of Cronbach’s alpha as 0.94 and using the spelling method as 0.81. The results of the exploratory factor analysis reveal that two factors, “intrapersonal” and “social attention and consider”, in this scale explain 65.57% of the total variance of the test. The confirmatory factor analysis confirms the existence of these two factors. The correlation coefficients of the subscales with the whole test were 0.89 and 0.97. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that the ACSS can be an appropriate tool for assessing the tendency of individuals to perform plastic surgery and can be used as a valid scale in Iran.

Comparison of the awareness of glaucoma between high-educated and general people in Beijing

Objective To compare the awareness of glaucoma between high-educated and general people and provide theoretical evidences for the focus of health education. Methods A total of 340 people in one work unit who received health examinations in the Health Screening Center in Beijing Tongren Hospital from June 2016 to September 2016 were selected and investigated using a self-designed questionnaire for the awareness of glaucoma. According to the education background, all subjects were divided into the high-educated group (bachelor degree and above) and the general group (below bachelor degree) . Chi-squared test was used to analyze and compare the awareness of glaucoma between two groups. Results The rates of considering themselves as knowing glaucoma in the high-educated group and general group were 6.79% and 6.75% respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=0.001, P=0.988) . The rate of correct knowledge of symptoms and treatment of glaucoma in the high-educated group was significantly lower than that in the general group, while the misunderstanding of symptoms and treatment glaucoma in the high-educated group was significantly better than that in the general group (all P<0.05) . The media was the major source to acquire the knowledge in both groups. High-educated people wanted to get glaucoma knowledge through medical consultant (34.57%) , while general people wanted to obtain glaucoma knowledge through media (45.40%) . The difference was statistically significant between the two groups (P<0.01) . Conclusions The awareness of glaucoma in both high-educated and general people are low. There are differences in the knowledge of symptoms, treatment and approach of achieving of glaucoma between high-educated and general people. Special emphasis in the health education for two groups of people is necessary to achieve more effectiveness. Key words: Glaucoma; Health education; Awareness; High-educated people

A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF SANGUINE PERSONALITY TRAITS ON STUDENTS INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN KENYA

Sanguine personality is one of the four fundamental personalities that we have. This group of people is believed to be optimistic and social. The other personalities are choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic. The objective of the study was to critically analyze the effects of sanguine personality on student’s interpersonal relationships in secondary schools in Kenya. To understand the personality, there is need to understand who a person is. A person is defined as a living creature like an animal but he or she is different from an animal because an animal acts on instinct whereas a person by nature is intelligent and free. A person learns many things like reading, walking or eating. Personality is defined as the totality of one’s behavior and character. Having understood what a person and personality is, further study was then done to critically analyze the effects of sanguine personality traits on student’s interpersonal relationship in schools. The study therefore would help the teachers to understand sanguine traits properly and if this trait plays any role as far as interpersonal relationship is concerned amongst students in secondary schools. From the solutions got from this study, it was recommended that teachers be trained as psychologist so that they would be in a position of guiding their students in the right direction. The government would then take the initiative to make sure that this course is made available in all the teacher training colleges and in the universities for those contemplating to be teachers in our country.

Observation of the effect of two rehabilitation treatments to staff in office with cervical spondylosis

Objective To observe the effects of two rehabilitation programs to staff in office with cervical spondylosis, and to explore the appropriate rehabilitation program for this group of people. Methods There were 37 office personnel with cervical spondylosis were selected by the inclusion criteria.They were randomly divided into treatment group A(once a week, n=17) and treatment group B (once a week, n=20) according to the random number table method.The treatment group A took middle frequency electrotherapy and infrared therapy, while the treatment group B took tuina manipulation.The changes of visual analogue scale (VAS) and cervical range of movement (ROM) were observed after 10 weeks of treatment. Results Compared with before treatment, the VAS scores of the two treatment groups decreased with statistically significant difference after 10 weeks of treatment(tA=12.91, tB=13.88, all P 0.05). Compared with before treatment, the cervical ROM of the two groups increased significantly after treatment(tA anteflexion=-4.59, tA posterior extension=-5.13, tA left flexion=-4.24, tA right flexion=-3.25, tA left circumflexion=-7.13, tA right circumflexion=-7.47, tB anteflexion=-5.85, tB posterior extension=-7.28, tB left flexion=-8.64, tB right flexion=-8.38, tB left circumflexion=-11.72, tB right circumflexion=-11.95, all P 0.05). Conclusion The two kinds of rehabilitation programs can relieve the neck pain of the office personnel, but treatment group B is better than treatment group A in increasing cervical ROM.

A Phenomenological Approach to Understand the Nature Based Experiences and its Influence on Holistic Development

Children today have few opportunities for outdoor free play or regular contact with the natural world. Nowadays children's physical boundaries have shrunk due to a number of factors (Francis, 1991; Kytta, 2004). The culture of childhood that played outside is gone and children's everyday life has shifted to the indoors (Hart, 1999; Moore, 2004). As a result, children's opportunity for direct and spontaneous contact with nature is a vanishing experience of childhood. Not only have children's play environments dramatically changed in the last few decades, but also the time children have to play has decreased. Children need nature to grow up in a healthy way and be prepared for adult life. Child psychologists and psychotherapists are now convinced that contact between children and the natural environment is essential to ensure their balanced psychological and physical development as adolescents and adults (Ilaria, 2015). To understand the lived-in experiences of the children of previous generation with the nature, and how nature play a role in what they are today, variety of open-ended questions are chosen to elicit the most information possible in the time available. Qualitative research design (phenomenological approach) was adopted for this research. The phenomenological approach (realistic phenomenology) enables the researcher to understand the nature and meaning of an experience for a particular group of people in a particular setting (Moustakas, 1994) by encouraging individual participants to share their stories. The sample size selected for the present study is 20. Samples of only above 35+yrs is selected for the study who had experienced the phenomenon of nature based learning experience (specifically their exposure & experience with traditional games). Data were collected through individual interviews. In-depth interviews are optimal for collecting data on individuals' perspectives, and experiences are being explored.

The Role of NGOs in Enabling Elderly Activity and Care in the Community: a Case Study of Silver Wings in South Korea.

South Korea is now one of the most rapidly aging societies in the world and meeting the elderly's needs requires a systemic and paradigm change. In this study I argue that community-based care of the elderly in the community should be seen as complementary to, and arguably more fundamental than, enhancing long-term care services per se. Based on qualitative interviews and observations, this paper presents a case study of Silver Wings, the community-based initiative of local non-governmental organization (NGO) Saerom to provide older people's self-help groups with support from HelpAge Korea. The study analyzes the activities and capacities of local NGOs in promoting "aging-in-community" and the findings suggest that such initiatives can certainly contribute to improving well-being and also to reducing long-term care needs. Lessons and challenges of the initiative, as well as policy suggestions, are also discussed.

The roles of humour and laughter in youth focus groups on school food

ABSTRACTThe article examines young people's group interaction and the roles of humor and laughter in relation to school food and school lunch situations. The analysed focus group discussion data is drawn from a broader case study (2012−2013) with 9th grade students (15–16 years old; 62 pupils; 25 boys and 37 girls; 14 groups; 4−6 pupils per group) in a Finnish secondary school. The analysis is based on existing interpretations and classifications of humor in literature, which is complemented by notions drawn from the study's data set. It is argued that an analysis of humor and laughter can provide valuable notions of how collective attitudes towards school food are constructed, enforced and distributed among students, while also providing insight regarding what kinds of issues around school lunch practices are considered important and worthwhile in the context of students' informal peer cultures. The results illustrate how humor and laughter functioned for the students as a space for (1) Constructing ‘us’ versus ‘them’; (2) Negotiating social order; and (3) Engaging in fun and safe interaction. Results are discussed in the light of how humor and laughter uphold or divide social groups, as well mediate shifts between formal conventions and students' informal worlds.

The status and analysis of pulmonary function assessment of the elderly in communities of Beijing

Objectives To explore the status and characteristics of changes in lung function in the elderly in communities of Beijing, and to provide reference for improving the prevention and control of chronic lung disease in the elderly. Methods A stratified, segmented and cluster sampling method was used to investigate 1 144 subjects aged 60 years and over in communities of Beijing(Huairou District, Daxing District rural area and Xicheng District). Health status and pulmonary function were assessed, and characteristics of lung functions and their changes were analyzed in the elderly. Results The average vital capacity(VC)was 2.53L, and forced vital capacity(FVC)was 2.29 L, forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)was 1.81 L, 1 second rate(FEV1/FVC)was 83.42%.Static vital capacity was decreased in 1/3 of the elderly, and dynamic vital capacity, including FVC and FEV1, was reduced in about half of the elderly.Ratio of decline in lung function in the elderly was higher in male and in urban area than in women and in rural areas.Ratio of decline in each index of pulmonary ventilation function showed a significantly increased tendency along with the ageing.Lung dysfunction types in the elderly included a restricted(23.5%)and obstructive ventilation disorder(19.7%)and mixed ventilation disorder(12.8%). Conclusions The ratio of decline in lung function in the elderly is increased along with aging, and more significantly higher in female and in urban than in male and in countryside.Restrictive ventilation disorder in the elderly is more often in urban areas, while obstructive ventilation disorder occurs mostly in rural areas.Corresponding measures should be adopted for different groups of people. Key words: Respiratory function tests; Cross-sectional studies

Anxiety Reduces Empathy Toward Outgroup Members But Not Ingroup Members

AbstractSubstantial research concludes that favoritism toward members of people's ingroup, or ingroup bias, motivates people to oppose public programs that assist needy outgroup individuals. I argue that a gap in the empathic capacity for ingroup and outgroup members motivates and maintains ingroup bias in helping behavior and is sensitive to contextual cues that trigger anxiety. Using a novel experimental design, Study 1 demonstrates that anxiety exacerbates the outgroup empathy gap. Study 2 replicates these findings with an explicit measure of outgroup empathy. Study 3 shows that the outgroup empathy gap causes individuals to become less supportive of helping needy outgroup members. These studies suggest that opposition to welfare programs may go beyond simple prejudice.

THE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Community is a locale group of people with collective leadership, responsibilities, consciousness and aspirations who wishes their values to be transmitted to their heirs. The school as an agency for implementing education programmes and is situated and it function within the community. That is the school as part of the community. The schools and their host communities are expected to support each other in terms of planning, working together for good, giving as well as receiving ideas. In this regards, one research question was raised. Certain assumes expected roles of the community in support of the school were itemized, and presented to 30 school principals and 30 community leaders for responses. All the relevant research procedures were strictly complied with the use of mean rating as the statistics for analysis of data generated. The result showed that the expected management activities of the schools in which the community can be involved are: planning, organizing, reporting, staffing and budgeting. Specifically, the community can be involved in the appointment and promotion of personnel’s among others communities involvement in the management of the schools in their communities were highlighted. The paper was concluded with some recommendations, amongst which was that School-Community Cooperation for Improved Education Outputs (S-CCIEO) to be properly nurtured. Article visualizations:

Crowdsourcing methodology: establishing the Cervid Disease Network and the North American Mosquito Project.

Crowdsourcing is obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people. This new method of acquiring data works well for single reports, but fails when long-term data collection is needed, mainly due to reporting fatigue or failure of repeated sampling by individuals. To establish a crowdsourced collections network researchers must recruit, reward, and retain contributors to the project. These 3 components of crowdsourcing are discussed using the United States Department of Agriculture social networks, the Cervid Disease Network, and the North American Mosquito Project. The North American Mosquito Project is a large network of professional mosquito control districts and public health agencies, which collects mosquito specimens for genetic studies. The Cervid Disease Network is a crowd-sourced disease monitoring system, which uses voluntary sentinel farms or wildlife programs throughout the United States of America to report the onset and severity of diseases in local areas for pathogen surveillance studies.

English-Medium Instruction in the Education Faculty of Málaga University: Students' profiles

This paper seeks to attain a better knowledge of the students that have joined the first partially-taught-in-English degree course in one of the six groups of the Bachelor’s Degree in Primary Education in the University of Malaga. The aim is to comprehend their different profiles so that professors can cater for their needs. To achieve this objective, as part of an innovation project led by a multidisciplinary team, different questionnaires were designed, the first of them to get information about their personal data and English training. It was taken by first year students, for two consecutive years (2014, 2015). The results of this questionnaire revealed that, as no specific requirements were asked, and only English level indications were given, we have to work with an heterogeneous group of people, which results in a multi-level proficiency, very demanding group, to deal with. However, comparing the results from one year to the next, we noticed that there has been an improvement in almost every parameter we were interested in assessing, and the participants of the developing innovation project are committed to evaluate their needs and provide the necessary support that teachers and students deserve.

IMPACT OF PSYCHO-SOCIAL DEPRIVATIONS ON EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND EDUCATION OF NOMADIC CHILDREN IN NIGERIA

The nomads are referred to as ethnic or socio-professional groups of people that travel and migrate from one geographical location to another, in search of means of livelihood. In Nigeria, the nomads are predominately the pastoralists, the migrant farmers, and the fishermen. Nomads are characterized by the absence of fixed domicile; hence they are always on the move. They do not have permanent place of settlement, therefore, their children suffer a lot of deprivations. This research investigated on the impact of psycho-social deprivations on emotional health and education of the nomadic children in Nigeria. A descriptive survey was adopted, while focus group discussion built into interview was used for data collection. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The population of the study was the entire nomads in Nigeria. A random sampling technique was used to select 400 nomads. The result was analysed, using mean scores, standard deviations, and z-test. The findings indicated that nomadic children experience emotional, intellectual deprivations, and deprivations of health care services, and social amenities among others. There is no significant difference in the mean scores and standard deviations of male and female respondents on whether nomadic children suffer psycho-social deprivations. There is no significant difference in the mean scores and standard deviations of male and female respondents on whet her psycho-social deprivations have impact on the emotional health and education of the nomadic children. Summarily, the findings were that nomadic children experience a high rate of psycho-social deprivations in Nigeria. Article visualizations:
