Descriptive Statistics with frequencies and percentages were used to analyze demographic information of the respondents and Pearson moment product correlation was employed to determine the relation between predictors of predictors of human resource development and social security in Bangladesh. The results of shared variance from Pearson moment product correlation demonstrated that there was high level of correlation between health as a predictor of human resource development and social security; there were moderate correlations between education, digital technology and women/children as predictors of HRD and social security and there were low correlations between social welfare and employment as predictors of HRD and social security in the country.

An appraisal of the relevance of consultation in organisational conflict management

Conflict has been proven to be inescapable in the work environment because of the composite nature of organizations. The study on the Appraisal of the Relevance of Consultation in Organisational Conflict Management evaluated the relationship of consultation with conflict management in an organization. Deploying consultation strategies in conflict management douses the degree of impact and incidence of escalated conflict. The study administered a questionnaire to 200 respondents from Banking & Fintech, Manufacturing, Professional Institutes, Ministries, Departments and Agencies of Government, Telecommunication, and Oil & Gas sectors in Southwest Nigeria through Google Forms, while 177 responded. A questionnaire was designed and validated by Industrial and Labour Relations Experts before administering it. Data were analyzed using charts, tabulations, percentages, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) methods. Findings confirmed that relationships exist between conflict management and consultation as a form of social dialogue. Most respondents agreed in strong and mild terms that deploying social dialogue in conflict management can trim down conflict; facilitate collaboration; replace confrontational relationships; establish a harmonious industrial climate; and open and encourage channels for consensus building. Since conflict is an intrinsic feature of organizational relations, sustaining a mutual relationship requires a deliberate commitment to adopt conflict management strategies. Social dialogue through consultation proved to be a potent apparatus for promoting effective conflict management. This highlights the need for organizations to prioritize consultation as a strategic approach to conflict resolution, ensuring harmony and collaboration across workplace dynamics. Hence, it is recommended that consultation should be deployed as a procedure to manage conflict in an organization.

Effects of Educational and Socio-economic Factors on Child Marriages in India: A Statistical Analysis

Child marriage poses a significant threat to a child’s freedom, right to education, health and overall development potential. This study examines the influence of educational factors and socio-economic development on the prevalence of child marriage in India. Using reliable data sources, a Pearson product–moment correlation analysis and a two-tailed significance P test were conducted to reveal relationships between child marriage, education and socio-economic factors. Additionally, artificial neural network structures were employed to develop a regression model that further validates these associations. This study demonstrates that regions with strong educational systems, high enrolment rates (especially for girls) and increased educational spending significantly reduce child marriage prevalence. In contrast, high student-to-teacher ratios and dropout rates exacerbate the issue. The analysis reveals a strong negative correlation between child marriage prevalence and socio-economic factors such as urbanisation, life expectancy, per capita income and the Human Development Index. Conversely, factors such as Hindu population percentage and infant mortality rates show a significant positive association. These findings underscore the necessity of investing in education and promoting socio-economic development to combat the deeply harmful practice of child marriage. Targeted interventions in these areas have the potential to protect children’s rights and create a brighter future for generations to come.

An experimental study on the diagnostic advantage of dual-energy computed tomography over single-energy scan to evaluate the treatment effect following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.

We assessed the diagnostic advantage of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) over single-energy computed tomography (SECT) to evaluate lipiodol accumulation in target lesions following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). TACE was performed in 10 rabbits in whom the VX2 tumor was implanted in their left liver lobes. The miriplatin-lipiodol mixture was injected into the common hepatic artery. All rabbits were sacrificed 2 days after TACE, and the liver was harvested. CT was performed using both single-energy and dual-energy scan modes. The specimen was stained with Oil Red O to evaluate lipiodol accumulation; this was considered the reference standard. Mutual information (MI) was used to evaluate the significance of radiological-pathological correlation. Estimated iodine content values on iodine material density images were compared with actual values obtained using mass spectroscopy. Mean MI values were 0.69, 0.32, 0.83, 0.72, 0.65, and 0.58 for single-energy scan; iodine density images; and virtual monoenergetic images for energy levels of 40, 60, 80, and 100 keV, respectively. The MI value of the monochromatic image (40 keV) was the highest among all sequences. However, this was not significant compared with the single-energy scan (p = 0.81). A significant correlation was observed between the estimated and actual values of iodine content (Pearson's product moment coefficient = 0.70, p = 0.023). More accurate and quantitative lipiodol evaluation in targeted tumors after TACE can be achieved by applying DECT rather than SECT.

Perceptions of Education Stakeholders on the Effect of Teaching Practices on Academic Achievement in Public Secondary Schools: A Case of Kakamega County, Kenya

The purpose of this study was to determine education stakeholder’s perceptions on the effect of schools’ teaching practices on academic achievement in public secondary schools in Kakamega County, Kenya, The study was guided by School-Based Management Theory. A descriptive research design was used. The target population was 415 principals, 415 Deputy Principals, 415 directors of studies, and 33296 form four candidates of 2022. Stratified and purposive sampling technique was used. The sample comprised of; One hundred principals, 100 deputy principals, 100 directors of studies, and 400 students were chosen as the sample. The research instruments were; Questionnaires, an interview schedule, and document analysis schedule. Descriptive analysis was done using frequencies and percentages while inferential analysis was performed using Chi-square Analysis and Pearson product moment. Qualitative data was transcribed, analysed and reported according to emerging themes The Chi-square analysis indicated a significant difference between schools' teaching practices and academic achievement at a p value p < 0.05. The results indicated that there was a significant difference in their perceptions on the effect of schools’ teaching practices with regard to the effect of the academic achievement with the p value p < .001.The null hypothesis was consequently rejected. The findings indicate a notable disparity in the perceptions of education stakeholders, particularly students and deputy principals, regarding the influence of teaching practices on academic success in public secondary schools in Kakamega County. The p-value of p < .001 signifies a robust level of statistical significance, suggesting that the observed difference in perceptions is improbable to arise from random chance. As a result, the null hypothesis, which posited an absence of difference in perceptions, was dismissed. The evidence indicates a divergence in perspectives between students and deputy principals regarding the influence of teaching practices on academic performance. This may suggest that each group emphasizes or appreciates distinct facets of the pedagogical approaches, or that they possess diverse experiences and insights concerning the implementation of these practices within the educational environment. This implied that that the students and deputy principals perceived differently, the effect of the teaching practices on academic achievement. The study recommends that some teaching practices that were perceived to enhance academic achievement should be used in public secondary schools of Kakamega County.

Correlation of The Application of Teaching At The Right Level (Tarl) With Students' Basic Literacy Outcomes

This study aims to identify the correlation between the implementation of the TaRL (Teaching at the Right Level) approach and the improvement of grade I students' basic literacy learning outcomes. Using a quantitative correlational method, the study involved 25 students grouped into four ability levels: Special Intervention, Basic, Proficient and Advanced. The test results showed that 17 students were at the Special Intervention level, 1 student at the Basic level, 7 students at the Advanced level and none at the Proficient level. Meanwhile, to get data on learning outcomes, students were given multiple choice questions to measure their abilities. Data analysis using the Pearson Product Moment test showed a correlation value of 0.812, which is higher than the critical value of 0.396 at the 5% significance level. This indicates a very strong correlation between the application of TaRL and the improvement of basic literacy learning outcomes based on correlation interpretation. Thus, the null hypothesis (H0: no correlation) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1 : correlation) is accepted. In conclusion, the application of the TaRL approach is positively related to the improvement of students' basic literacy learning outcomes, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach in literacy learning.

Reliability and utility of blood glucose levels in the periodontal pockets of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study.

Several studies have measured gingival blood glucose (GBG) levels, but few have confirmed systematic bias using Bland-Altman analysis. This study compared the effectiveness of GBG levels with that of fingertip blood glucose (FTBG) levels using Bland-Altman and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. A total of 15 healthy volunteers and 15 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each group comprised eight male and seven female participants. The GBG and FTBG levels were measured using a self-monitoring blood glucose device after periodontal examination. Pearson's product‒moment correlation and simple linear regression analyses were performed. In addition, Bland‒Altman analysis was also performed to assess the degree of agreement between the two methods. ROC analysis was conducted to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and cutoff values for patients with diabetes. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was used to identify significant differences. The mean GBG and FTBG levels were 120 ± 44.8 mg/dL and 137 ± 45.1, respectively, for the whole sample. The mean GBG and FTBG levels were 145 ± 47.2 mg/dL and 163 ± 49.1, respectively, in the diabetes group. The mean GBG and FTBG levels in the nondiabetes group were 95.3 ± 25.2 and 111 ± 18.8, respectively. Patients with diabetes were more likely to have a probing pocket depth (PPD) of ≥4 mm at the sampled site. Pearson's product‒moment correlation and simple linear regression analyses revealed a significant correlation between the GBG and FTBG measurements. Bland-Altman analysis revealed that GBG and FTBG measurements differed significantly among all participants; however, no significant differences were observed among the patients with diabetes (mean difference (MD) ± standard deviation (SD) = -18.1 ± 34.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) [-37.0 to 0.88]) or among the participants with a PPD of ≥4 mm (MD ± SD = -15.2 ± 30.4, 95% CI [-30.8 to 0.43]). The sensitivity, specificity, and cutoff values of the GBG measurements for detecting diabetes were 80%, 93%, and 123.5 mg/dL, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and cutoff values of the FTBG measurements for detecting diabetes were 73%, 87%, and 134.0 mg/dL, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the AUCs (0.078, 95% CI [-0.006 to 0.161]). The GBG measurements aligned with the FTBG measurements in the patients with diabetes and among the participants with a PPD of ≥4 mm. Patients with diabetes were more likely to have a PPD of ≥4 mm at the sampled site, GBG levels can be used to screen for type 2 diabetes in dental clinics.
