Ocular disorders and compliance to protective eyewear among quarry workers in Akamkpa local government area of cross river state, Nigeria

The quarry industry over time has played a pivotal role in the transformation of the physical environment but with attendant negative effects on workers. This study ascertained the pattern of work related ocular disorders and compliance to protective eye devices among quarry workers in Akamkpa LGA, Cross River State Nigeria. This descriptive cross sectional study employed the use of a structured interview followed by a comprehensive external examination of the eyes of the subjects by qualified eye care practitioners. Data generated was analysed using the Statistical Product for Service Solution (SPSS) version 25.0. Results were presented descriptively using tables and figures. The study took place in 8 quarry sites located in 4 communities randomly selected and involved 184 subjects randomly selected comprising of 140 (76.09%) males and 44 (23.91%) females. The age of the participants ranged from 18-60 years with a mean age of 32.03±2.23 (SD). The study revealed that predominant ocular symptoms experienced were blurry vision (31.5%), itchy eyes (27.94%), ocular irritation/ grittiness (15.55%), eye/ headaches (12.46%) and discharges (9.61%). The most common ocular surface anomalies observed were pterygium (41.80%), corneal scar/ ulceration (18.03%) and allergic conjunctivitis (16.39%), while the most frequent type of eye injuries reported were superficial foreign bodies, blunt trauma and superficial ocular abrasion accounting for 50.92%,30.06% and 11.04% respectively. Injuries due to quarrying activities were more common among labourers (41.10% and 29.45% among stone crushers and stone processors respectively), while workers with less than 5 years work experience reported more work related eye injury (74.85%) with broken stones (80.39%) accounting for most of the injuries. Similarly, a majority (94.7%) of the participants had knowledge of Personal Protective Eye Devices (PPEDs) only 26.44% had the appropriate PPEDs and just 30.43% of them complied regularly with their usage during work. There was a statistically significant association between work experience and the occurrence of work related ocular injuries (p>0.001) but the use of PPEDs has no statistically significant association with the occurrence of eye injuries. The study concluded that workers at the Akamkpa quarry, Nigeria suffered various types of work related ocular anomalies and while a majority of them had prior knowledge of the benefits of PPEDs, the level of availability and utilization is relatively low and recommended health education and strict enforcement of safety regulations.

Leadership Styles of Principals and Job Satisfaction: An Empirical Study in Colleges of Education in Ghana

This study examined leadership styles of principals and their effects on staff job satisfaction in Colleges of Education in Ghana. Guided by the pragmatism philosophy, and underpinned by McGregor’s (1960) theory X-Y, the study utilised the descriptive survey research design to gather data from the respondents. The study employed the multi-stage sampling technique to select 210 staff to fill out questionnaires while five principals were chosen through purposive sampling for interview. In all, 215 respondents were selected from a population of 443 for the study. The quantitative data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools such as the mean, standard deviation, and multiple linear regression with the help of Statistical Product for Service Solution (SPSS), whilst the qualitative data was analysed thematically. It was revealed that the majority of principals in the Colleges of Education showed transformational leadership style but some were also seen as transactional leaders. Again, regardless of existing promotion opportunities, the staff were unsatisfied with their pay and benefits. The study found a significant moderate positive relationship between principals’ transformational leadership style and staff job satisfaction. Furthermore, across the dimensions of transformational leadership style, the idealised influence (Beta = .517, p<.05) and individualised consideration (Beta = .285, p = .013<.05) significantly predicted job satisfaction. It can be concluded that transformational leadership style of principals has significant moderate positive influence on job satisfaction of members of staff in Colleges of Education in Ghana. It was recommended that Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Colleges of Education should organise periodic seminars to train principals and other college officials on transformational leadership and how to apply it. Such seminars will help principals lead effectively and keep college staff satisfied with their jobs.

The study sought to assess the effect of slum on the health of its’ dwellers in Sodom and Gomorrah. The study adopted the explanatory design of the quantitative approach to examine the effect of slums on the quality of life of the slums inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah. With the aid of Krejcie and Morgan‘s (1970) sample size table, 306 respondents were selected and through convenience sampling, questionnaire were administered to the respondents. Moreover, the data were analyzed with the help of statistical software known as Statistical Product for Service Solution (SPSS version 25.0) by using frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation as well as linear regression and presented by using tables, and charts. It was evident from the reviews that the emergence of slums and its growth are offshoots of urbanisation. The search for greener pastures in the city centers and the improvement of the livelihood of slum dwellers were the major driving force for slum dwellers to migrate to the city centers. It was obvious from the study that migrants do not have life easy and promising as anticipated before embarking on their journeys. They become exposed to all kinds of risks, ranging from environmental to health. Within this context they device several means to survive. It is the argument of this thesis that government should engage private partnership to stem the tide down. Therefore, it is recommended that the government and private institutions and individuals provide intensive education support programs for the community. Education could be done through Community Publics Address systems (PA Systems), schools, workshops, seminars, and others.

Adoption and application of electronic records systems in higher learning institutions

Information and communication technology developments that continue to occur have changed the way records are managed. Due to these changes, higher learning institutions in developing countries are adopting different electronic records management systems to increase accountability and efficiency. However, despite the adoption of these systems, the majority of records retrieved in most of these institutions are paper-based. In other words, the e-records systems that have been adopted by these institutions are not effectively utilised to support e-records management, which is one of the things that have been noted by this study that sought to examine the adoption and application of electronic records systems in Tanzania's higher learning institutions. Specifically, the study has examined types of e-records systems and factors affecting the effective adoption and application of e-records systems. To achieve this, a descriptive research design was employed by integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches. Whereas quantitative data were analysed using Statistical Product Service Solution (SPSS), qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Generally, the study reveals that various e-records management systems are used by higher learning institutions in Tanzania for purposes that are generally similar across the institutions. Moreover, the findings suggest that e-records management systems are not effectively used to support records management due to various human, organizational, technological, and regulatory factors. Therefore, to realize an effective transformation of records management from being paper-based to being electronic-based, various concerted efforts are needed. More specifically, multi-actor efforts between institutional management and records management practitioners are the fulcrum needed for the effective application of e-records systems.
