“…The AUC is to determine the precise integration under to function of features results. The highest score for this AUC is 1 in this paper shows the perfect score and the nearest value to 1 is a more reliable performance [21]. The F1 measurement provided proof that the solution enhanced the multimodal when the result shows high value because F1 measurement has the same task as the accuracy function.…”

“…The self-stress assessment methods are potentially of questionable accuracy and reproducibility to be measured, proved by works of [19], [20]. The study by Olaitan [21] used the self-stress assessment with the clinical assessment, and identify the hypertension of health workers. This shows that the several of physiological assessment and self-stress assessment can be implemented in stress level measurement.…”

Blinding of modality has been influenced decision of multimodal in several circumstances. Sometimes, certain electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is omitted to achieve the highest accuracy of performance. Therefore, the aim for this paper is to enhance the multimodal parameters of EEG signals based on music applications. The structure of multimodal is evaluated with performance measure to ensure the implementation of parameter value is valid to apply in the multimodal equation. The modalities’ parameters proposed in this multimodal are weighted stress condition, signal features extraction, and music class. The weighted stress condition was obtained from stress classes. The EEG signal produces signal features extracted from the frequency domain and time-frequency domain via techniques such as power spectrum density (PSD), short-time Fourier transform (STFT), and continuous wavelet transform (CWT). Power value is evaluated in PSD. The energy distribution is derived from STFT and CWT techniques. Two types of music were used in this experiment. The multimodal fusion is tested using a six-performance measurement method. The purposed multimodal parameter shows the highest accuracy is 97.68%. The sensitivity of this study presents over 95% and the high value for specificity is 89.5%. The area under the curve (AUC) value is 1 and the F1 score is 0.986. The informedness values range from 0.793 to 0.812 found in this paper.

“…Majority of the respondents carried high workload at work and only one third carried out physical body exercise daily. These two factors have been reported as risk factors of obesity (Olaitan et al, 2020). It has been reported that obesity can cause absenteeism and lower employee's productivity and efficiency (Olaitan et al, 2020).…”

“…These two factors have been reported as risk factors of obesity (Olaitan et al, 2020). It has been reported that obesity can cause absenteeism and lower employee's productivity and efficiency (Olaitan et al, 2020). It follows, therefore, normal body weight enhances workers' agility, work productivity and reduced tendency to develop obesityrelated disease such as hypertension, diabetes, and osteoarthritis.…”

Background:The healthcare profession has been associated with stress which has been found to affect nutritional status.Purpose: This study was aimed at evaluating the perceived stress-nutritional status nexus of healthcare professionals in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Methods:This descriptive cross-sectional study involved 414 healthcare professionals. The study sample was obtained by using a two-stage cluster sampling approach. Data on socio-demographic and meal pattern was collected through a pretested self-administered questionnaire.Results: Body Mass Index (BMI) was obtained from height and weight measurements and classified as underweight (BMI<18.5), normal weight (BMI=18.5-24.99), overweight (BMI=25.0-29.99) and obesity (BMI≥30). Perceived stress was evaluated using the perceived stress scale version 10 (PSS-10). Data was analyzed using Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 26 and subjected to Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis to establish relationship and predictors of perceived stress at 5% level of significance. The healthcare professionals' age was 35.91±9.31 years with 86.2% being ≤ 45 years and 60% were females. Two meals a day were taken by 85.7%. BMI showed 49.3% to be overweight/obese. The mean perceived stress score was 15.02 with 47.6% experiencing high perceived stress. Age (p=0.016), gender (p=0.001), marital status (p=0.001) and professional group (p=0.048) had significant relationship with perceived stress. The association between BMI and perceived stress was not significant (Chi-square = 0.562; p=0.905). Predictors of stress were gender (OR: 0.505, CI=0.308-0.830; p=0.007) and marital status (OR: 1.914, CI=1. 143-3.208; p=0.014). Conclusion:The study showed high level of obesity and perceived stress. Nutrition education intervention is recommended.

Nutrition knowledge plays a crucial role in promoting healthier eating practices, leading to the maintenance of healthy body weight. This is because knowledge of dietary guidelines and healthy eating habits among adults has been positively correlated. However, in terms of dietary habits, presumptions that the supposed civil servants in some parts of Western Nigeria are knowledgeable about basic dietary practices are yet to be explored. Therefore, this study was designed to assess the nutrition knowledge, lifestyle, dietary practices, and nutritional status among men and women civil servants in Ado, Ekiti State, Nigeria. A structured interviewer questionnaire was administered to civil servants (180 male and 220 female elderly respondents, <60years old) to collect data on economic and socio-demographic characteristics, nutrition knowledge, lifestyle, and dietary habits. Anthropometric measurements were also taken. The quantitative were coded, collated, and analyzed using SPSS. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data from categorical variables. Chi-square test, at a 5% confidence level, was used to establish any significant relationship between food intake parameters and nutrition knowledge. Most of the respondents (66.7%) were affected by the delayed payment of their monthly salaries. The total knowledge scores revealed that 13.25%, 41.25% and 45.50% of the respondents had poor, fair and good nutrition knowledge, respectively. Unfortunately, this higher nutrition knowledge does not translate into good dietary habits. Data obtained revealed bad eating habits, as a more significant percentage of the respondents regularly ate high-fat foods (99.5%), ate outside the home (85.3%) and did not take vegetables (83.3%) nor fruits (60%) daily. There exists, however, a significant and positive relationship between nutrition knowledge and physical activity (P=0.043), high-fat foods consumption (P<0.001), daily fruits consumption (P<0.001) and vegetable consumption (P<0.001). In conclusion, the discrepancy between the respondents' high nutrition knowledge and their seemingly poor lifestyle and dietary behaviour show that nutrition knowledge alone does not translate into good dietary behaviour.
