The study investigated the socioeconomic impact of coronavirus lockdown in Ibewa community, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, Rivers State. The socio-ecological resilience theory served as the theoretical framework while the cross-sectional design was used for the study. Both probability (stratified, simple random) and non-probability(purposive) sampling techniques were used for the sampling procedures. Quantitative (questionnaire) and qualitative (Seven focus groups) were used in gathering primary data. Also, Cronbach Alpha was used to measure the reliability of instrument(s). On the basis of data collection, twenty-two (22) respondents were randomly chosen from the seven (7) household groups that were already in strata (7×22=154). Data collected for the study were analyzed with univariate (mean), bivariate(chi-square) and multivariate (multinomial/linear logistics regression) statistic(s) with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 23.0. Based on analysis, the study discovered that lockdown led to human right abuse, economic hardship, deviant behavior among others. In view of these findings, the study recommended that the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs Disaster Management and Social Development should design an economic recovery plan for indigent households. Also, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control should propose a legislative framework that will curb price hike of essential commodities during disease outbreak.

Over the past twenty five years, women's history has been firmly established in the academy. This progress has not "trickled down" into the K–12 curriculum. Most school children recognize the names of Abigail Adams, Jane Addams, and Rosa Parks, but little else. This article discusses the importance of infusing the schools' curriculum with gender awareness, looking at the ways in which teachers, school administrators, schools and departments of education in universities, professional history, and social studies organizations have been able to work together to reach beyond the already established, male-dominant state curriculum and incorporate the role of women and gender into their history and social studies classes, as well as to bring gender into the curriculum, including a call for greater collaborations between the academy and secondary schools.

The paper provides results of research on academic and sports motivation of student-athletes and students who do not participate in sports. The study was carried out in the period from May 2019 to February 2020 in Perm State University. It engaged 140 students: 70 involved in sports and 70 not involved. The average age of the interviewees was M = 19.85. The following methods were used to study the students' educational and sports motivation: Self-Efficacy Scale (as adapted by D.S. Kornienko, A.Ya. Fominykh); Self-Efficacy to Regulate Exercise (as adapted by D.S. Kornienko, A.Ya. Fominykh); Sports Motivation Scale (as adapted by D.S. Kornienko, A.Ya. Fominykh); Scale of Academic Motivation (as adapted by T.O. Gordeeva). The results of the study show that students who are not involved in sports have more pronounced types of academic motivation, such as cognitive and achievement motivation. Student-athletes are more strongly motivated than non-athletic students in such types of motivations as positive emotions, improvement, learning, achievement, approval. Student-athletes have a higher level of sportsmanship and overall self-efficacy than non-athletic students. Some correlations between sports and academic motivation within groups have been found. In the group of student-athletes, a negative correlation was found between the motivation for excellence in sports and the motivation for self-esteem in learning. As for non-athletic students, external motivation is linked to approval motivation. The positive correlation of achievement motivation with emotions and cognition has been established.

United States and Canadian studies have reported that a relatively large proportion of the institutionalized, older adult population is afflicted with a host of dental diseases and rarely seeks dental services. Analysis of existing published information indicates areas of concern including the need for incidence data, consensus on appropriate measures, and samples that will provide representative and comprehensive information about compromised older adults, irrespective of institutional or homebound status. Special emphasis should be placed on determining risk factors for dental disease, through longitudinal study of older adults.

My dissertation traces the invention and development of a new form of banking, body banking. Today, the body bank as an institution that collects, stores, processes, and distributes a human body product is a taken-for-granted aspect of medicine in the United States. We donate to blood banks, we cherish sperm bank babies, and we contemplate many sorts of banks, including cord blood banks, gene banks, and egg banks. Such institutions have existed for the past century in the metaphorical shadow of financial banks, and like those better-studied banks have stirred considerable controversy. The driving question behind my dissertation is simply, why banks? How did we come to use "bank" to apply to bodies as well as to dollars? More intriguingly, what does this analogy show us and what is it hiding?

DIGITAL TWINS (Digital Twins in the transition to Industry 4.0) is a project funded by the Valencian Institute for Business Competitiveness (IVACE) and the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER). The general objective of the project is to advance in the definition, modeling and construction of Digital Twins in the framework of Industry 4.0, and demonstrate the new dimension of tools and services that can be built on them to improve their transferability and application in the Valencian Community industry. The objective of the deliverable focuses on analyzing the state of the art, the technique, trends and Big Data technologies applied to the development of Digital Twins in the context of Industry 4.0. Specifically, the document includes the results of the tasks for the identification, selection and experimentation of the techniques and technologies involved in: Visual Representation of production processes, Simulation of industrial processes and Optimization of variables or factors that intervene in the definition of operating scenarios of Digital Twins in industrial processes. ; DIGITAL TWINS. Project funded by the Valencian Institute of Business Competitiveness (IVACE) and European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), within the public grant program adressed to Technological Institutes of the Valencian Community for the development of non-economic R&D projects carried out in cooperation with companies during 2017 with 191.007,30€.

This research principally examined gender variables and human resources management among male and female public secondary school principals in Delta State, Nigeria. The study was based on descriptive survey method which adopted the ex-post facto design. The population comprise 9361 teachers drawn from the 466 public secondary schools in Delta State. 936 teachers, representing 10% of the teachers, was the sample size using stratified random sampling technique with consideration to local government areas and senatorial districts in Delta State. The main instrument used, was a self, constructed questionnaire titled "gender variables and secondary school principals' human resources management questionnaire (GVSSPHRMQ). The face and content validity was ascertained. The researchers employed the services of four well instructed field assistants to facilitate the process of data distribution and retrieval. Out of the 936 questionnaire administered, 934 were returned correctly filled. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics of mean scores and standard deviation for the research questions, while the t-test statistical tool was used to test the stated hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The acceptance and rejection bench mark for the mean was; 0-2.50 and 0-2.49 respectively. The findings which emerged include; the extent of some indices of gender variables on effective human resource management, among male and female public secondary school principals in Delta State and there was no significant difference between male and female secondary school principals' views on the administrative task areas, and that gender variables influence in the management of human resources among public secondary school principals in Delta State, Nigeria.
