Uncovering Newcastle disease virus dynamics in Northern Nigeria: insights from an epidemiological survey in unvaccinated village poultry

Abstract Background Newcastle disease virus (NDV) remains a major constraint to village and backyard poultry production in Nigeria, where limited vaccination and low biosecurity may facilitate sustained virus circulation. This study investigated the serological and molecular epid...

REASONS FOR USING FREQUENCY AND PERCENTAGE TO ANALYSE CATEGORICAL DATA

Data analysis is fundamental to research because it transforms raw observations into meaningful information. When researchers work with categorical data, frequency and percentage are the most frequently employed descriptive statistical tools. Frequency indicates the number of tim...

Seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, and syphilis infections among pregnant women and infants in Malaysia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background Toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, and syphilis (TORCH) infections in infants and pregnant women are a cause for concern. However, the true prevalence of the infections among these populations in Malaysia is unknown. Methodology This study represe...

LOW-RESISTANCE TRAINING AS A CATALYST FOR ENHANCING MUSCULAR ENDURANCE IN YOUNG-OLDER MALE ADULTS: IMPLICATIONS FOR ACTIVE AGEING.

This study assessed the effect of low-resistance training on muscular endurance of young-older male adults in Samaru, Zaria, Nigeria, particularly in the context of promoting active ageing through lifelong physical activity. A repeated-measures experimental research design was us...

This article, titled “Reason for Using Frequency and Percentage to Analyse Categorical Data,” examines the importance and appropriateness of frequency and percentage as descriptive statistical methods for analysing categorical data in educational research. The article explains th...

Micro Servo Robot with Memory

The Micro Servo Robot with Memory is a low-cost robotic arm that operates in two modes: Learning and Play. In Learning mode, an operator manually guides the arm through a sequence of positions using potentiometer controllers; each position is saved to memory at the press of a but...

Strengthening malaria case management in Plateau State through on-the-job mentorship and supervision: evaluating the effects of targeted capacity building on diagnostic accuracy and data quality

Malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Nigeria, where weaknesses in diagnosis, treatment, and data quality persist. This study evaluated the impact of an integrated on-the-job mentorship and supportive supervision (OJMS) model on malaria case management in...
