Most young person will become sexually active before their 20th birthday having to battle with early and unplanned pregnancies, unsafe abortions, maternal deaths and injuries. This study examined young person’s sexual knowledge, attitudes and practices and their levels of utilization of sexual reproductive health. Our study progresses beyond current research of reporting only sexual behaviour among youth to have insight into sexual and reproductive health update drivers yielding new empirically robust results for the Ghanaian case for sexual and reproductive health service uptake. The descriptively cross sectional design was employed in sampling 170 youth (150 surveyed and 20 Interviewed) using the stratified sampling technique together with a purposive selection of one key informant. Test of significance and associations were performed with the Chisquare test. In all 45.2% (77/170) of youth (10 - 24) had had sexual experience in life time. In respect of in-school youth, 42% (63/150) had had sexual experience whiles 70% (14/20) out-of-school youth had had sexual intercourse in life time. A total of 28.8% (49/170) of all the youth had sexual intercourse in the last six months with only 40.1 (20/49) using condom for protection. Parental discussion of contraceptive methods (29.3%) and sexual and romantic relationship (28.0%) was the least sexual and reproductive health area discussed among in-school youth. Youth knowledge of the available sexual reproductive health service was statistically associated with reproductive health service utilization (X2 = 0.00, P ≤ 0.05). A concerted effort is required from government, NGO, Civil society organizations and religious bodies to help translate youth knowledge about sexual health into responsible sexual life and protective sex.

中风是最可预防的神经系统疾病。因为通过做出更健康的生活方式的决定或通过药物治疗,可以避免许多已知的中风危险因素,这包括高血压、高胆固醇、糖尿病、心脏病和吸烟。旨在减少中风发病率和死亡率的健康措施将促进人们对中风的潜在危险因素和警告信号的了解。在加纳等低收入和中等收入经济体中,高血压和其他非传染性疾病正成为心血管疾病和中风的日益严重的危险因素,正在经历人口快速增长和经济增长的影响。公众教育和认识将大大有助于减少人口对可改变的风险因素的脆弱性。世界卫生组织（2015年）报告说,2015年因CVD有1770万人,其中有670万人死于中风。超过75%的死亡人数发生在加纳等中低收入的国家。这种现象很可能会加剧,据估计,到2030年,全球约70%的死亡率将由非传染性疾病引起,而世界上中低收入地区的任务仍然复杂而艰巨。在加纳,目前有公众对中风以及中风的影响的认识以及对中风危险因素和警告信号的认识对于防止由CVD引起的死亡增加至关重要。正因为如此,该研究试图检验加纳公众对中风的认识,它专门研究了政府政策和策略,以提高公众对库马西加纳的警告标志和症状,危险因素以及中风的管理意识。该研究在库马西大都会议会中对250户家庭进行了横断面调查。这项研究使用结构化问卷来确定数据,并通过logistic回归分析对识别危险因素和中风警告信号的能力进行分类。但是,访谈指南被用来检查中风的原因,治疗方法以及结果。头痛和麻木是受访者认可和引用的主要中风警告信号。根据受访者的说法,与中风危险因素相关的最常见变量（因素）仍能缓解压力,其最高比例为74.7%。其次是年龄（63.8%）。最小的危险因素是糖尿病。严重头痛被列为熟悉的警告信号,百分率为59%,n=130,其次是麻木（N=110,50%）,未指明的疼痛排名第三（N=90,41%）。根据受访者所述,最少的警告标志是头晕（35%）。logistic回归模型分析的结果发现,以下因素与正确提及至少一种中风危险因素的能力显着相关:受访者的年龄小于40岁（OR,1.832;95%CI,1.160-2.893;P 5.009）,研究生学历（OR,2.712;95%CI,1.678-4.382;P,.001）,中风家族史（OR,2.112;95%CI,1.116-3.998;P5.022）,吸烟史（OR,2.726;95%CI,1.256-5.919;P 5.011）和先前对中风的健康教育（OR,1.970;95%CI,1.235-3.142;P 5.004）与更高的中风危险因素水平相关。研究结果表明,中风是由压力引起的,一些相关因素被认为是导致压力的因素,包括担心,休息不足,大脑超负荷,苦涩,孤独和恐惧。尽管中风被视为加纳死亡的常见原因,但研究显示,相当多的受访者意识到中风的危险因素,警告信号和致命的事实。令人满意的原因是信息来源和其他必要因素,例如中风运动计划。因此,应在高校中严格开展中风运动计划和健康教育计划,以增强对这种致命性疾病其危险因素和警告信号的认识。进一步的发现支持了分析,并讨论了有关改善中风预防,治疗,教育和宣传的某些政策建议。

2D Electrical Resistivity Imaging for Delineation of Crystalline Basement Aquifer in Northern Ghana

引用

Journal of Geoscience and Environment Protection 2019年第12期7卷 102-115页

作者： Akwasi Acheampong Aning Charles Kwabena Sarfo Patrick amankwaa Mainoo Reginald Mensah Noye Department of Physics Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Kumasi Ghana Water Research Institute (WRI) Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Accra Ghana

Lack of access to potable and adequate water is a major problem for sustainable development in northern Ghana. Developing groundwater resource is the best option for safe, reliable, and cost-efficient water supplies to these dispersed communities. In this study, nine 2D ERI profiles were carried out with the Schlumberger array in eight communities underlain by the crystalline basement rocks in the Bole District of the Savannah Region of Ghana. The aim was to delineate the aquifer zones and select points for groundwater extraction. Nine boreholes were drilled from the selected points. The yield was found to vary from 12 to 180 l/min with a depth range of 50 to 70 m. The weathered and fractured zones together with the bedrock topography were clearly marked. It is evident that the 2D electrical resistivity technique is useful tool in determining the availability of groundwater in weathered and fractured crystalline environment.

Physiological Resilience of Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea L. Verdc) Genotypes to Intermittent Periods of Drought Stress at Different Growth Stages

引用

Agricultural Sciences 2023年第11期14卷 1573-1592页

作者： Kennedy Agyeman Felix Frimpong Patricia amankwaa-Yeboah Isaac Osei-Bonsu Stephen Yeboah Agbesi Keteku Paul Marno Mavis Brempong Brempong Eric Owusu Danquah Asamoah Emmanuel Adjei Michael Odenkey Quaye Joseph Nketiah Berchie CSIR-Crops Research Institute Fumesua-Kumasi Ghana Departnent of Agricultural Science Education University of Education Winneba Ghana

Different genotypes of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L. Verdc) grow well under conducive environmental conditions, provided that adequate soil moisture is available during vegetative and reproductive phases. However, drought stress is the major limiting factor to bambara production, which accounts for up to 40% of yield losses. This situation could worsen due to drastic and rapid changes in the global climate. Landraces grown by farmers are low-yielding. Understanding the physiological response of different genotypes to drought stress is key to achieving food security through crop improvement and diversification. This study focused on variations in the response of Bambara groundnut genotypes to intermittent drought stress during the crop’s critical growth (vegetative and reproductive) stages. The experiment was undertaken at CSIR-Crops Research Institute Screen-house. The treatments were used in a factorial experiment with three replications in a randomized complete block design. The Bambara genotypes showed considerable variability in tolerance to drought stress. Drought stress during vegetative and reproductive stages significantly reduced crop growth indices, the leaf relative water content, chlorophyll content and leaf area. Drought stress during vegetative and reproductive stages had a more severe impact on the seed yield of genotype Nav Red, reducing it by 69% and 13%, respectively. Farmers should pay more attention to adopting drought-tolerant and high-yielding varieties for improved Bambara groundnut productivity and livelihoods.
